Chuck Older, Dick Rossi, Joe Rosbert, David "Tex" Hill, and Charles Bond autographed an ArtCraft Great Americans Series cover honoring Claire L. Chennault and the Flying Tigers. The five veterans have signed across the upper portion of the cover, with several adding their Flying Tigers units and other military notations.

Older has added "7th Ftr. 3rd Sqdn. A.V.G. Flying Tigers," Rossi identifies himself with the 1st Squadron, Hill notes "Squadron 2nd Sqdn AVG," and Bond adds "1st Pursuit AVG Flying Tigers." The illustrated cachet depicts Chennault with a Flying Tigers P-40 and is captioned "Claire L. Chennault, Commanding General of The Flying Tigers," from ArtCraft's 1990 Great Americans Series.

Fine condition.

The American Volunteer Group, popularly known as the Flying Tigers, was organized under Claire L. Chennault and fought Japanese forces in China and Burma during the opening months of America's involvement in World War II. Chuck Older (1917–2006), Dick Rossi (1915–2008), Joe Rosbert (1914–2004), David "Tex" Hill (1915–2007), and Charles Bond (1914–1989) were among the American pilots associated with the celebrated unit, whose distinctive shark-mouthed P-40 fighters became one of the most recognizable symbols of American aviation during the war.
