The American Volunteer Group (AVG), better known as the Flying Tigers, was organized under the command of Claire Lee Chennault and served in China before the United States formally entered the Second World War. Flying Curtiss P-40 Warhawks with their iconic shark-mouth nose art, the volunteer pilots and ground crews earned an extraordinary combat record while defending Chinese cities and supply routes against Japanese forces.
