“Much more than a military history, this book is a detailed
description of daily life in wartime China.”—Air & Space
Magazine
"A fine addition to our knowledge of World War II, especially
war in the Far East. . . Relatively few Flying Tigers have written
and published their view of 'how it really was.' For readers
interested in the China-Burma-India theater in World War II or for
those interested in exploring the flexibility of airpower, this
book is a must.”—Air & Space Power Journal
