Chronofighter Flying Tigers

1 minute read
The Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft Flying Tigers pays tribute to the First American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force, which was nicknamed the Flying Tigers.

The group consisted of three fighter squadrons of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps, the US Navy and US Marine Corps, recruited under presidential authority. The tiger insignia symbolises the tactical power to fight and win and is also a sacred animal in Chinese culture.
