  • American Mates, traditionally, we were allies, but the bloody comunist party changed everything. We shall expect a democratic China together and therefore to reestablish our traditional friendship!!!

  • FDR plans sneak attack before Pearl Harbor (2nd Half)

    Chiang Kai-shek Nationalist Party is nothing but cruel Chinese Nazis in German style military uniform. U.S.A. made them a cover and devised war against Japan.

  • @RSprtn117 Officially, the members of the AVG worked for CAMCO, an a/c building company. Chennault had been in China since 1937 and realized that with the inferior equipment and training that the Chinese Air Force had, they would never beat Japan. He knew that he needed American pilots and better equipment and with the help of Laughlin Currie, President Roosevelt and others, they finally scraped up enough equipment to do just that.

  • @yuzikatou Maybe not in a dogfight, but using the tactics of the Flying Tigers, the records speak for themselves, time after time, the P-40s and AVG won.

  • Is it any wonder Japan bombed you back????

  • @zlodiejus they were all US military pilots.. but had to act like they were civilian as they prepared to fight, the us entered war Dec 41 before they were in effect flying for the gov't of China on a paid bounty for each plane shot down

  • Wow, B model P-40's--you hardly ever see them!

  • @Bomberguy, that is what happened. The US narrative is that the Japanese started the war, but from the Japanese perspective the oil embargo was already an act of war.

    I'm not saying it was right for the Japanese to invade China, but you're looking at history through a very filtered lens.
