The finest telling of the Flying Tigers' story...an accurate and compelling account.
Product Description
During the summer of 1941, 300 young American men and women secretly trained in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Within weeks of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the daring exploits of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) captured the imagination of the world. The Chinese called them Fei Hu, for the shark's teeth painted on their planes. The world knew them as the legendary Flying Tigers.
Through the use of rare film footage Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers tells the story of a small group of men and women who fought against overwhelming odds and lifted the spirits of both the American and Chinese people during the darkest days of World War Two.
Fei Hu - The Story of the Flying Tigers was broadcast on PBS as a one-hour film on February 22, 1999. It was selected to be part of PBS's programming initiative, History's Best on PBS, which highlights the best history programming that PBS has to offer. Now the 90-minute Director's Cut of Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers is available for sale on videocassette.
