'War history as it should be written!' -- The Hook

Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and
His American Volunteers, 1941-1942

"During the dark, early days of World War II, when the Imperial Japanese army, navy, and air force were running roughshod over Asia and the Pacific, it seemed that nothing could stop them.

"The exciting story of this legendary fighting force that wore American uniforms but Chinese insignia is told in Daniel Ford's definitive history of the legendary Flying Tigers. Every page contains a new tidbit of information and rich, long-forgotten detail." -- World War II magazine, November 2007

As of April 27, Amazon is selling the book at a bargain price. (I see it as $6.40, but I think that's subject to change.) These are what used to be known as "remaindered" copies--returns from bookstores. (Remember bookstores?) May have shelf wear or a black mark on the lower edge. Check it out here.

HarperCollins has released Flying Tigers as an ebook, available for Amazon's Kindle reader in the United States and in Britain. Scan down this page to read the opening pages online. The book is also available in epub format for the Barnes & Noble Nook device, the Sony Reader, and for the Apple iPad. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
