From back cover: We began at Toungoo in July 1941 with a kindergarten for teaching bomber pilots how to fly fighters. Within a few months Claire Chennault had welded his men into a first rate air guerrilla force, bombing and strafing in the service of China. Known as the Flying Tigers, they were spurred on by a reward of 500 dollars for every Japanese plane downed.
