My Flying Tigers Odyssey with Col. Scott and AVG Tales
Autobiographical reminiscence recounts Col. Robert L. Scott’s WWII air combat over Burma and China with the AVG Flying Tigers. He describes missions in P-40s and Kittyhawks, strafing Japanese ground targets along the Burma Road, engagements with Zero fighters, and mentoring younger AVG pilots under General Chennault. The narrative covers convoy strikes, train strafing near Kunming, exchange with pilots like Tex Hill and George Paxton, and a close call during combat over Lashio and Laokay.
