The Lady and the Tigers: Remembering the Flying Tigers of World War II [Anglais] [Broché]

"Mrs. Greenlaw has brought it to lusty life with injections of her world-wise personality"

"All about the Mexican-born beauty who helped create the myth of the Flying Tigers."

"An authoritative, gusty, and true-to-life story of the AVG"

Olga Greenlaw's remarkable memoir of the Flying Tigers--the mercenary pilots who defended Burma and western China during the open months of the Pacific War--was one of the earliest accounts of the American Volunteer Group, and it's still one of the best. This new edition has been edited and annotated by Daniel Ford, who wrote the definitive history of the AVG.

Olga Greenlaw kept the War Diary of the American Volunteer Group--the Flying Tigers--while those gallant mercenaries defended Burma and China from Japanese aggression during the opening months of the Pacific War. Returning to the United States in 1942, she wrote "The Lady and the Tigers", which war correspondent Leland Stowe hailed as "an authoritative, gutsy and true to life story of the AVG." Out of print for more than half a century, her book has now been brought up to date by Daniel Ford, author of "Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and the American Volunteer Group". What's more, Ford explains for the first time where Olga and Harvey Greenlaw came from, how they became caught up in the saga of the Flying Tigers, and what happened to them after their tumultuous year with the AVG. Black and white photographs--many never published before--round out the text.
