Desc: Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers: Directed by Frank Christopher. The American Volunteer Group (AVG), more commonly known as the "Flying Tigers", was a civilian volunteer air force that fought the Japanese in Burma and China before (and just after) America's entry into World War II. The Flying Tigers were a bright spot of victory to both America and China during the early, dark days of the war. This documentary contains much archival footage, and many personal recollections from the pilots, nurses, and mechanics who joined the AVG.
