On August 1, 1941, the American Volunteer Group (AVG) was officially formed, with its headquarters in Kunming and Claire Chennault as its commander. The AVG later became the famed Flying Tigers. On December 20, 1941, shortly after arriving in China, the Flying Tigers faced their first aerial battle. In this video, Flying Tigers researcher and filmmaker Jim Fields @GRTRtech recounts this air combat.
