In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: good. xiv, 318, [4] pages. Illustrations. Some wear to board corners. Introduction by Lin Yutang. Anna Chennault, born Chan Sheng Mai, later spelled Chen Xiangmei (actual birth year 1923, but reported as June 23, 1925 - March 30, 2018), also known as Anna Chan Chennault or Anna Chen Chennault, was a war corre…spondent and prominent Republican member of the U.S. China Lobby. She was married to American World War II aviator General Claire Chennault. Controversy surrounds Anna Chennault for the crucial role she may have played on behalf of Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign in seeking to delay the Vietnam War peace negotiations, in order to boost Nixon's chances for victory. Chen Xiangmei and Chennault, who was 30 years her senior, married in December 1947. In 1946, Chennault had divorced his first wife. After the war her husband was somewhat of a celebrity. Anna Chennault worked as a publicist for Civil Air Transport in Taipei, Taiwan (1946-1957), as vice president of international affairs for the Flying Tiger Line and as president of TAC International (from 1976). In 1960, Chennault gained her first political experience when she campaigned for Richard Nixon, being used as the Republicans' principal campaigner among Chinese-Americans. In the 1968 election, Chennault served as the chairwoman of the Republican Women for Nixon Committee. Derived from a Kirkus review: Anna Chan at 19 was the newest and youngest member of the Kunming bureau of the Chinese Central News Agency. Her first big assignment was covering the human interest angle of the U.S. 14th Air Force's participation in the Sino-Japanese War. The most interesting part of the story was, of course, Major General Claire Lee Chennault, the Flying Tiger. From their first meeting, a bond of friendship grew between the daughter of China's consul in San Francisco and the formidable general, whose family were French-American pioneer stock. When love became too strong to ignore, he found ways to overcome the multiple barriers of race, religion, and age. Once married, they faced the strenuous task of fighting the Communist takeover of China by building up his new airline (the "most shot-at" CAT) to help stimulate the country's economy by transporting goods and to save lives by airlifts and rescue missions. Their close ties with Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, their struggle to inform the Free World of the significance of the Communist menace, and Chennault's relationship to other American military figures of the period are the backdrop of this love story.

Hardcover. Second Edition. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 267 p. Illustrations. Map. This is one of the American Heroes Series. From Wikipedia: "The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941 1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (…USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. The ground crew and headquarters staff were likewise mostly recruited from the U.S. military, along with some civilians. The group consisted of three fighter squadrons with about 20 aircraft each. It trained in Burma before the American entry into World War II with the mission of defending China against Japanese forces. Arguably, the group was a private military contractor, and for that reason the volunteers have sometimes been called mercenaries[citation needed]. The members of the group had lucrative contracts with salaries ranging from $250 a month for a mechanic to $750 for a squadron commander, roughly three times what they had been making in the U.S. forces. The Tigers' shark-faced fighters remain among the most recognizable of any individual combat aircraft and combat unit of World War II, and they demonstrated innovative tactical victories when the news in the U.S. was filled with little more than stories of defeat at the hands of the Japanese forces. The group first saw combat on 20 December 1941, 12 days after Pearl Harbor (local time). It achieved notable success during the lowest period of the war for U.S. and Allied Forces, giving hope to Americans that they would eventually succeed against the Japanese. Using Japanese reconstructed or remembered accounts, one researcher has decided the number of victories claimed by the AVG was much lower. However there still exists the combat records of the AVG which other researches have found very credible. The AVG pilots were paid combat bonuses for destroying nearly 300 enemy aircraft, [1] while losing only 14 pilots on combat missions. [1] In July 1942, the AVG was replaced by the 23rd Fighter Group of the United States Army Air Forces, which was later absorbed into the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force with General Chennault as commander. The 23rd FG went on to achieve similar combat success, while retaining the nose art on the left-over P-40s." Very good. No dust jacket. COver has slight wear and soilng. Sticker for Best Autobiography on front cover. Bar code sticker and some soiling on back cover. Chennault, Anna (Caligraphy) (illustrator).
