To all you wonderful peeps who have encouraged me on this film idea I want to first say a big thanks. Unfortunately I doubt my version will ever make it to the big screen - but I may turn my script into a book.
Looks like John Woo will be doing a film on the Tigers and I pray it's true to life and gives the men their due. Goggle: john Woo Flying Tigers
I hope you eventually succeed, I would like to see it. I love movies about aviators of WWII era and I'm particularly fond of things about the flying tigers and the cactus airforce.
This is an idea that ahs been tossed around by several history oriented producers and ironically, the story writes itself. It is a shame no ne has yet done it justice.
The original Flying Tigers have always been treated like rock stars by a grateful Chinese people. Any project regarding their exploits is something worth seeing. Squad leader Dick Rossi (7 confirmed kills) recently died at age 92. R.I.P. Mr Rossi.
I read somewhere John Woo is working on a film epic about these legendary mercenaries. Hope he doesen't fuck it up with inaccurate romantic rubbish like they did with Pearl Harbour or Flyboys, if he has the Japs save the world from another love triangle or have aircraft defy the law's of there flight envelope (I'd Know I used to fly) I'd not be impressed.
i have great respect to Americans( especially their old generations)! when i was young, i often heard the tale of American Airmen help china to defeat imperial japan in WW2,.....it's such grateful to hear someone is gonna make a film to tribute these brave tigers, their spirit will live on!....
Wait a minute, the footages from Pearl Harbor. Is there really a Hollywood run on the Tigers vs Zeros? By the way I'm more into japanese crafts. Not saying against the Yanks, do like 'em Mustangs but lets say I have a soft touch for the Zeros.
Those guys were fabulous! They were the only unit during that time that were achieving any success in operations against the enemy. Sadly, other units in the Far East had the same kind of Curtiss P-40 combat aircraft, but fared very badly because they did not know how to successfully engage the Japanese in aerial combat, something General Chennault had trained his pilots to do quite well.
Hmmm, this seems to be a collection of film clips from some movies mage in the late 1940's ans 50's. Some of the b/w stuff was from film of the actual AVG. I am not going to hold my breath for this movie to come out.
salute to all american who help to fight to Japs

I thought the P 40s used in the CBI went up against IJAAF Ki 43 Hayabusas, not A6m2s.

You are right about the clips. This is essentially a sales piece I put together to sell my script.
I quit holding my breath a while back but I'm still hoping. One of those against all odds things.
