U.S. Military Tribute - RUNAMUCKA - The Ballad Of The "RUNAMUCKA"

Retired USAAF CAPTAIN? He was a MGEN, not a CPT!

The gaffe in his rank aside, MGEN Chennault and the rest of the AVG were heroes in the finest tradition of the American Warrior.

The song is correct, you are not. Sorry

Chennault arrived in China on June 1937, after retiring from the United States Army Air Corps with the rank of captain.

The 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.

One of the 'Flying Tigers' lived across the street from me in the late 1960's, ABQ NM. He had a TV repair business that kept motel sets working. He knew Chenault personally. Signed my copy of 'God is my Co-Pilot'. I lost it in a move.... He had a knock out good lookin' daughter. :>)

Hey Dean... I enjoyed talking with you at the airport yesterday. This beast you guys built is definitely a great tribute to The American Spirit! Hope things went well with your Tractor today as well! Hope to see you again next time I make it over there.

I saw this at the MVPA convention in Portland in 2008, and it was even more impressive in real life!

One of my friends flew with the Flying Tigers and he never tires of talking about it. I think a few of his stories might even be true!
