The American Volunteer Group under Claire Chennault was being actively recruited and prepared for combat in support of the Chinese in 1940. The Flying Tigers were in place when Pearl Harbor was attacked although they did not see combat until 20 December 1941. A loan had been made to China by the US of 25 million dollars and the embargo of oil and aviation gas was directly tied to US support for China.
