Reviews

"Brings together not only the commanders' stories but often more colorful -- and sometimes more accurate -- accounts of life and battle by the men who flew these planes and the women who participated on the ground." -- McCormick (SC) Messenger

"Contains the best general description and estimate of Gen. Claire Chennault I have ever read." -- Bernard Norling

"Forces us to re-evaluate the role of the military hero who has passed into the realm of myth and legend." -- South Carolina Review

"Shows that the Tigers' success was largely due to Chennault himself." -- Rapport
