飞虎队
during the summer of 1941, three hundred young americans secretly trained in the jungles of southeast asia under the leadership of claire chennault, a retired american fighter pilot employed by chiang kai-shek to build an air force to defend the barma road. this air force came to be known as the flying tigers.
on 18 december 1941, when chennault and his pilots arrived in kunming, they saw the streets littered with the body parts of women and children, struck down by unchallenged japanese bombers. two days later, the japanese returned with ten bombers. for the vaunted nippon air warrior such missions were routine. but this time, nine of the ten bombers fell to fire from a few out-dated p-40s flown by chennault's men. only one p-40 was lost. in fact, when attacked, the japanese pilots at once jettisoned their load and ran for home.
