On July 4, 1942, Chennault's "Flying Tigers" achieved brilliant results
On this day, 83 years ago, July 4, 1942 (May 21, 1942, the Lunar Calendar), Chennault's "Flying Tigers" achieved brilliant results. Shark patterns on "Flying Tigers" fighter jets make Japanese pilots shudder. On July 4, 1942, according to statistics, the American Volunteer Air Force ("Flying Tigers") led by retired American soldier Chennault has shot down 299 Japanese aircraft over Myanmar, China, Thailand and French Indochina as of today. However, he only lost 83 aircraft and won a consecutive victory in the Japanese Air Force in more than 50 air battles. On November 30 last year, the United States approved the plan to merge the Flying Tigers into the U.S. Army. Today, the United States reorganized the "Flying Tigers" into the 23rd Fighter Group of the 14th Air Force of the United States, the U.S. Air Force Task Force in China. Chennault was promoted to brigadier general and served as task force commander. Comic commentary on the "Flying Tigers" versus Japanese aircraft: Such a team will definitely make the enemy afraid.
