The Flying Tigers, also known as the American Volunteer Group, were American volunteer fighter pilots who fought for China during the Second Sino-Japanese War (the Pacific front of World War II prior to U.S. entry)[1]. Led by Lt. General Claire L. Chennault, they were very successful against the Japanese, who expected to encounter poorly-trained Chinese pilots.
