Although not directly working w/the Flying Tigers, my late Father’s WW2 unit, The Sino American Cooperative Organization (SACO) worked w/ both the Chinese Nationalists, Communists, & OSS behind Japanese lines on Mainland China.

The Flying Tigers motif live on w/the A-10C’s assigned to the 23rd Wing @ Moody AFB, GA.
