Even before the United States officially entered World War II, Americans were risking their lives in the fight against the Axis powers. One group of American military members formed the 1st American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force in 1941. These brave men were authorized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to assist the Chinese in their war against Japan. The group earned the name of the Flying Tigers as they fought tenaciously in their durable P-40 fighter planes against the Japanese. In Dave Dawson With the Flying Tigers, Dave Dawson joins with the Flying Tigers to fight the Japanese threat. Alacrity Press is proud to make this class fictional tale by Robert Sidney Bowen available once more to young readers.
