My Sights:
The Memoir of a P-40 Ace (G K Hall Large Print Book Series (Paper)) [LARGE PRINT] by James B. Morehead ASIN: 0783884516 
Col. Morehead was born and raised in rural Oklahoma during the height of the Great Depression and knew at a very young age that an education was the avenue to climbing out of destitution. His desire and tenacity to improve his life is the story within the story. He even joined air corp flight training to qualify for more scholarship money. As a result, he was highly trained as the war began and was stationed in Australia when Pearl Harbor was attacked. When duty called, he accepted it with the same vehemence of gaining an education. Truly an inspiring read for anyone wishing to improve their lot in life. I also recommend this to any student thinking that life is too hard, or that earning an education is not expected of them. I recommend this book to anyone interested in history; especially
the WWII era as well as the Great Depression. I ranked this book a
four star vs. a five as the publisher, for reasons I do not understand,
cut several areas that would have added to the content. I know this
as I was given a copy of the original manuscript to read. I made several
remarks to Col. Morehead during our visit that prompted him to give
me a copy of the original. Hope that you enjoy it.

P-40
Warhawk (Warbird History)
by Frederick A. Johnsen Paperback (February 1999)
Book Description After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was responsible for holding the line in the Pacific for much of 1942. Even after the arrival of newer fighter types, the P-40 remained in demand in all theaters, most notably with the American Volunteer Group, or "Flying Tigers," in China. As such, the P-40 continued to pour out of factories, and by 1944 more than 13,000 had been constructed in ten variants. In this tribute to that glorious aircraft, author Frederick Johnsen examines the P-40's development, technological evolution, and changing roles during World War II. Included are 100 black-and-white archival photographs sourced from the best collections in the world. Check for Sale Price |

Tiger
Tales
by Leverne J. Moldrem Not a about P-40's but still a book about the Flying Tigers An anecdotal history of the Flying Tiger Line
Book Review An anecdotal history of the Flying Tiger Line. It introduces the pilots from Chennault's American Volunteer Group in China/Burma, who later formed their own airline, The Flying Tiger Line. The book records the history of the Company through the personal records of the pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and other employees. Included are all of the aircraft accident reports, which unfortunately are many. The Company flew many support missions and contracts in support of the military including: resupply of occupation forces in Japan, relocation of displaced persons after WWII, the Korean airlift, the Vietnam war, the Cambodian rice lift, and many relief flights for famine and earthquake victims. In addition to all this, the company grew to become the world's largest air freight line. They perfected the art of shipping live animal by air, wild as well as tame. Loads of breeding cattle to Europe and Asia, Pigs to China, race horses to and from the U.S. Australia and New Zealand, draft horses from France to Asia. Then there were the wild ones: monkeys, snakes, gorillas, bears, tigers, lions and who knows what else. The book is laced with humor as told by the people involved in the
specific event. Then there are many "bar storys", some told by the culprits
themselves, and some by the victims. Much of the humor was not funny at
the time, such as engine fires in the middle of the night, fuel gauges
approaching empty or a landing gear refusing to lock down.

Flying
Tiger a Crew Chief's Story : The War Diary of an Average Crew Chief
by Frank S. Losonsky Hardcover (April 1996)
Book Review This new book is the war diary of a Flying Tiger American Volunteer Group crew chief from the 3rd Pursuit Squadron. Much of the Flying Tiger history is written from the pilot's viewpoint. These brave pilots deserve much praise, but those who fixed the aircraft and kept them flying also have a story to tell. Though their story is perhaps not as flashy, it is quite interesting and very much in tune with the everyday spirit of that intense period before America entered the World War II. This book contains Losonsky's war diary, which is supplemented with interviews and dialogue, and includes over 200 unpublished photographs. This format provides the reader with a multi-dimensional view of the period. Flying Tiger will give aviation historians new insights into the days shortly before the Flying Tiger successes in late 1941.

Flying
Tiger to Air Commando (Schiffer Military History)
by Charles Baisden, Chuck Baisden Hardcover (March 1999)
 Book Review Flying Tiger to Air Commando is an enlisted man's story of over twenty years of service to his country. From enlistment in the Army Air Corps at age nineteen as a Private to his retirement at age 44 as a Master Sgt., his unusual tale will interest all aviation, history, and gunnery buffs. At age twenty he volunteered for the American Volunteer Group, hardly aware of China and its problems with Japan, but was soon to find out as an armorer with Chennault's famed Flying Tigers. When that elite group was broken up, he returned to the States, soon to return to the CBI theater flying as a B-25 gunner with his good friend from the Tigers, R.T. Smith, in the First Air Commandos. The end of WWII was not the end of combat for Sgt. Baisden, who saw service in the Korean War, both as an armorer in the 80th Fighter-Bomber Squadron of the 8th Fighter-Bomber Group, and as a gunner on B-29s in the 93rd Heavy Bombardment Squadron, 19th Bomb Group. His last days in the Air Force were flown as an in-flight refueling technician in KC-97s with the 308th, 2nd, and 19th Air Refueling Squadrons. His down-to-earth narrative is interesting and informative, and is presented along with his own period , over 100 b/w photographs, 6" x 9" Click for Sale Price ISBN-10: 0764306901 ISBN-13: 978-0764306907 Hardcover: 157 pages Publisher: Schiffer Publishing (March 1999) |

Flying
Tigers
by J. Toland
'The Flying Tigers' is one of the first history books I have ever had and really enjoyed. The idea of a group of volunteers fighting the Japanese fighters and bombers with their P-40s was amazing to me. Not many history classes in high school or even college touched on the subject.
