The Flying Tigers

Sam Kleiner’s The Flying Tigers recounts the daring story of American pilots who secretly crossed the Pacific before Pearl Harbor to defend China and fight Japanese forces in the Pacific. Led by Claire Chennault, these pilots operated under false identities, engaging in combat missions that boosted morale during a time of global defeat for the Allies. The book offers an immersive look into their missions, personalities, and the historic alliance between the U.S. and China during a pivotal moment in history.
