No squadron of American Fighter Pilots has ever surpassed the degree of mystique as that of the famous American Volunteer Group, better known as the Flying Tigers. Organized by Claire Chennault, the AVG defended the skies over China and Burma in the early days of World War II. Under primitive conditions and often outnumbered as much as eight to one, the three squadrons comprising the AVG achieved aerial successes against the enemy unparalleled to this day. Their snarling, shark-mouthed P-40s have become icons in military history. Today, more than half a century after this remarkable group of Americans achieved world-fame, only a remnant remains, yet their legacy continues to inspire both young and old. John D. Shaw has created this dramatic depiction of Chennault and AVG personnel as they map out a mission in Kweilin, China.


Originally released in 1995, this John D. Shaw print has since sold out. Each print is SIGNED BY MORE THAN 17 FLYING TIGERS, many of whom are no longer with us.
