What were the flying tigers in World War 2?
The original Flying Tigers were a group of Americans who volunteered and signed a contract with the Chinese Government to fly (and others worked as mechanics, etc) and fight the Japanese who were invading their country. This was before the US declared war, so these Americans were not in the US Army. After the US entered the war, some of these American volunteers joined the American Army. They formed an official unit within the US Army that was known as the Flying Tigers and also painted the shark's mouth on their fighters. Also the 14th Air Force adopted the flying tiger as their unit insignia.
