About the book

The story of the group young American men and women who crossed the Pacific before Pearl Harbour to risk their lives defending the embattled forces of Chiang Kai-Shek's China. These 300 individuals were effectively paid mercenaries, secretly recruited by a mysterious shell company that the federal government had created to circumvent its official stance of non-intervention in the war. A dramatic story of covert operations, Flying Tigers is the unforgettable account of a group of Americans whose actions changed the world.
