Chennault Willing To Lead Flying Tigers Group Against Reds
Claire L. Chennault says he would head a volunteer air group against Chinese Communists if properly organized and supplied and coordinated with the Chinese Air Force he helped create. He notes Chiang Kai-shek has not requested such help or replied to veterans of the U S 4th Air Force offering to return to China. Chennault, who commanded the 14th, runs a civil air service in China and warns war would be kill or be killed. He says many Chinese opposed to communism would welcome a new AVG but foreign nations other than communist ones would likely not permit operation. He observes Red Armies benefit from foreign advisers down to unit levels.
