French Language Book. The Flying Tigers are legendary. However, their true story is little known to the public and the most improbable rumours circulate about them, particularly in Europe. In 1967, aged only eight, the author developed a passion for these aviators, their exploits, their machines, their fights. He then never stopped documenting himself on the subject, and the ambition to devote a detailed and complete work to them never left him. Invited to the annual reunion of the American Volunteer Group in 1987, he had the honour of being able to interview several former pilots. Throughout his life, Luc Vangansbeke patiently collected specialized works, testimonies and other documents concerning the “Flying Tigers” as well as their boss, General Claire Lee Chennault. Letter exchanges with American specialists in the unit constantly lead him to deepen his research. Today, Luc Vangansbeke finished his work. With this work, he gives us a rich and precise work, covering one by one the journeys of all the major combat units and airlines that bore the name of Flying Tigers, or that flew under the winged tiger insignia. Reading this book – the work of a lifetime – will reveal to you that the “Flying Tigers” were not limited to a few Curtiss P-40s adorned with shark mouths, piloted by a band of adventurers and mercenaries , including Gregory “Pappy” Boyington. taking up one by one the journeys of all the major combat units and airlines that have borne the name of Flying Tigers, or to have flown under the winged tiger insignia.
