The B-24 in China: General Chennault's Secret Weapon in WWII
The USA's Flying Tigers were a squadron of bomber pilots during World War II. While commanded by General Chennault they accomplished dangerous low-flying missions using radar - a new and classified technology. This allowed the pilots to perform their missions at night, attacking Japanese shipping in the South China Sea.
The story of these operations is told by military historian A.B "Bud" Feuer and Capt. Elmer “Hainan Harry” Haynes, which World War II magazine says "Reads more like a novel than a diary." And, according to a customer review an Amazon.com:
"Haynes' experiences bring the reader with him through the boredom, fear, terror, loss, and camaraderie that was the life of a bomber pilot in the Fourteenth Air Force. Well-researched and well-written with plenty of personal touches, this book is a sure hit for those who enjoy WWII history or aviation history. "
