File photo shows a U.S. Flying Tigers pilot posing in front a shark-mouth fighter plane at Wujiaba Airport in Kuming, China, during World War II. Cynthia Chennault, daughter of the legendary late U.S. General Claire Lee Chennault, still remembered how her beloved father described his feeling on the victory over Japan during World War II (WWII). In 1941, General Chennault recruited the American Volunteer Group, which was later known as the "Flying Tigers." During WWII, the U.S. general trained, organized and inspired both American and Chinese pilots to overcome language and cultural barriers to fight against the Japanese invaders.
