THIS IS THE R A R E ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION 1949 . . . WRITTEN BY CHENNAULT, EDITED BY ROBERT HOTZ . . . IT CONTAINS CHENNAULT'S FIVE PAGE FOREWORD . . . LAVISHLY ILLUSTRATED WITH 18 ORIGINAL WAR PHOTOGRAPHS . . . & THREE COMBAT ZONE AREA MAPS . * This superb book covers the thoughts, plans and tactics Chennault employed against the Japanese air forces. His tactics were taught to his pilots, and were ultimately a major part of American success over the larger and stronger Japanese air force. . Chennault wrote a stunning five page "Foreword" to this book in January, 1949, Shanghai, just after the defeat of the Japanese. His warnings about allowing the Communists to take over China were far ahead of 'his times' and not heeded by the U.S. Government, in the end, America 'lost China' a staunch old ally after World War II. . *** GENERAL CLARE LEE CHENNAULT [1893-1958]: Chennault was known as the "father" of the "A.V.G." ["American Volunteer Group"], later commonly called the "FLYING TIGERS." . *** INVITED TO VISIT CHINA AND ASSESS THE CHINESE AIR FORCE BY MME. CHIANG: . Major General Claire Lee Chennault was an advisor to Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Air Force in 1937. Mme. Chiang asked Chennault to create a new air force composed of American fliers, inviting them to come to China and oppose the overwhelming Japanese air force. . Chennault agreed and established the "A.V.G." consisting of some 100 all American volunteer pilots & support members in 1941. Later after their success against the superior and overwhelming Japanese air forces, they we called the "Flying Tigers" by the Chinese. . In 1942 they turned back elite Japanese air forces invading China in the "CBI" ["China Burma & India"] Theaters of war, the first defeat of Japanese solely by American air power. . *** CHENNAULT'S MILITARY CAREER: Chennault attended Louisiana State University between 1909 and 1910 and received ROTC training (Claire). He learned to fly in the Air Service during World War I, remained in the service after it became the Air Corps in 1926, and became Chief of Pursuit Section at Air Corps Tactical School in the 1930s. Poor health and disputes with superiors led Chennault to resign from the service in 1937. He then joined a small group of American civilians training Chinese airmen and served as "air adviser" to Kuomintang (KMT) Nationalist Government leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Soong May-ling, during the Sino-Japanese War [1937-1945]. Chennault participated in planning operations and observed the Chinese Air Force in combat from a Curtiss Hawk 75. In this period, he would organize the International Squadron. . *** "FLYING TIGERS" Chennault's "A.V.G." ["American Volunteer Group."] later and much better known as the "FLYING TIGERS" began training in Kunming, S.W. China in August 1941 and fought the Japanese for six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor in Burma. . Chennault's three squadrons used P-40s and his tactics of "defensive pursuit" to guard the Burma Road, Rangoon and other strategic locations in Southeast Asia and western China against Japanese forces. Chennault made a great contribution by training the first-generation Chinese fighter pilots. . *** "FLYING TIGERS" were formally incorporated into the United States Army Air Forces in 1942. Prior to that, Chennault had rejoined the Army with the rank of colonel. He was later promoted to brigadier and then major general, commanding the Fourteenth Air Force. . *** CHINA-BURMA-INDIA THEATER [CBI]: The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. (December 2007) Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. . * Throughout the war Chennault was engaged in a bitter dispute with the American ground commander, General Joseph Stilwell [Chennault's superior officer]. . Chennault asserted that the Fourteenth Air Force, operating out of bases in China, could attack Japanese forces in concert with Nationalist Chinese troops. . In contrast, Stilwell insisted that air assets be diverted to his command for an offensive to force the opening of a ground supply route through northern Burma to China. This route would provide supplies and new equipment for a greatly expanded Nationalist force of twenty to thirty modernized divisions. . Chiang Kai-shek favored Chennault's plans, as he was suspicious of British colonial interests in Burma, and because he was not prepared to begin major offensive operations against the Japanese. He was also concerned about alliances with semi-independent generals supporting the Nationalist government, and was concerned that a major loss of military forces would enable his Communist Chinese adversaries to gain the upper hand. . *** THE JAPANESE AIR FORCES: Good weather in November 1943 found the Japanese Army air forces ready to challenge Allied forces once again and they began both night and day raids on Calcutta and the Hump bases while their fighters struck back vigorously against any Allied air intrusions over Burma. . In 1944, Japanese ground forces advanced and seized Chennault's forward bases, though they were severely mauled by the Fourteenth's air force at the Salween River and other chokepoints. Slowly, however, the greater numbers and greater skill of the Allied air forces began to assert themselves. By mid-1944, Major General George E. Stratemeyer's Eastern Air Command completely dominated the skies over Burma; this superiority was never to be relinquished. . By mid-1944, logistical support reaching India and China via the Hump finally reached levels permitting the long-awaited Allied offensive into northern Burma. In formulating their strategy for defending Burma in 1944, the Japanese failed to appreciat.…
