In early 1941, US Army Air Forces officer Claire Lee Chennault formed the American Volunteer Group (AVG), better known as the \"Flying Tigers\". An ad hoc group of AAF, Navy, and Marine Corps pilots on private contract to Chiang Kai-shek\'s Nationalist Chinese government, they flew P-40 Warhawk fighters, emblazoned with garish red and white shark\'s teeth, to deter the Japanese bombing campaign against the Chinese civilian population. The Flying Tigers became world famous as free wheeling, devil may care American aviators defending freedom in the Far East. In early 1942, Disney designed the iconic winged tiger flying through a large \"V\" for victory AVG insignia, which many Flying Tiger pilots wore on their flight jackets or painted on their planes.
