Description
| Summary: | During the summer of 1941, 300 young American men and women secretly trained in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Within weeks of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the daring exploits of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) captured the imagination of the world. The Chinese called them Fei Hu, for the shark's teeth painted on their planes. The world knew them as the legendary Flying Tigers. Through the use of rare film footage, this documentary tells the story of a small group of men and women who fought against overwhelming odds and lifted the spirits of both the American and Chinese people during the darkest days of World War II.
