Скачать или смотреть Flying Tigers legacy embodies China-U.S. collaboration

The First American Volunteer Group - nicknamed the Flying Tigers - was made up of pilots who fought on behalf of China in World War II. Hailed by both the Chinese and American public for their heroism, the Flying Tigers' successes included driving the Japanese 70 miles back towards the Chinese-Burmese border.

"At that time, it was probably one of the most successful uses of tactical air power in history. So the effect was the Japanese did not come back for a year and a half," said Jeffrey Greene, President of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation.

"The Chinese people believed in themselves, and they believed in the American pilots. And that's what is so important about this 80th anniversary [of the end of World War II], that now people in the West are starting to realize and understand and hear about this relationship of sacrifice," Greene said.
