Flying Tigers formed

Following a Chinese appeal for American pilots and mechanics to join a volunteer outfit, US President the American leader has officially approved the transfer of more than a hundred modern fighter planes to the Chinese Air Force. Pilots in the US Army, Navy or Marine Corps are also given leave to join this unit. The first ships carrying the new fighters are supposed to leave as soon as the necessary equipment is assembled.
