The men of the Flying Tiger squadron were a group of volunteer pilots from the United States who fought against the Japanese forces during World War II. Their situation was unique because they were the first American pilots to engage the Japanese in combat following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite being heavily outnumbered, they displayed incredible bravery and skill, successfully defending the Chinese city of Kunming and its vital supply routes. Their courage and determination in the face of overwhelming odds made them an inspiration to the American public and a symbol of hope during a dark time in history.
