Purchase options and add-ons

The American Volunteer Group, or 'Flying Tigers', have remained the most famous outfit to see action in World War II. Manned by volunteers flying American aircraft acquired from the British, the AVG fought bravely in the face of overwhelming odds in China and Burma prior to the US entry into World War II. Pilots such as 'Pappy' Boyington, R T Smith and John Petach became household names due to their exploits against the Japanese Army Air Force. The AVG legend was created flying the Curtis P-40 Tomahawk and Kittyhawk. This volume dispels the myths surrounding the colours and markings worn by these famous fighters.

I am a AVG fan from Taiwan, the Republic of China!! The history of the American Volunteer Group showed us the friendship between our two nations. The Cutriss P-40B(C)/Hawk-81A Tomahawk and P-40E Kittyhawk were really beautiful!! I can tell you the P-40s flown by AVG were the most colorful aircrafts in the history of the Republic of China Air Force. I decide to translate this book into Chinese for AVG fans in Taiwan!!

Great reference for AVG aircraft. A must if you are modeling one of the Flying Tigers. There is some dispute as to the author's conclusions for the underside colors but overall an excellent source.
