ABOUT
Chennault joined the army during World War I but never got to the front and not until the war was over did he achieve his goal of becoming a pilot.
By all accounts, he was a great one. "Nobody flies a plane like the Old Man," said one of his admirers. He rapidly hit a ceiling in the Air Corps, however, and was eased out in 1937 and went to China as air adviser to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1940-41 he organized the American Volunteer Group that would become immortal as the "Flying Tigers"--and cinch Chennault's own claim to fame as the maverick who managed to do what the generals could not.
