Fitz and Blackie have joined the American Volunteer Group, mercenary pilots who became famous in the defense of Burma and China as the Flying Tigers. Love, fear, death, and disillusionment are the payoff, along with a $500 bonus for each Japanese plane they destroy. "A cracking good yarn about interesting people, including the Japanese fighter pilot whose story adds special realism to the battles." (Air&Space / Smithsonian magazine) By the author of the definitive history of Claire Chennault and the AVG.
