| The heritage of the 74th Fighter Squadron "Flying Tigers" traces back to the famed American Volunteer Group. The AVG, started by Brig Gen Claire Chennault, provided air defense for China in the early days of World War II. Using P-40 Warhawks, the AVG "Flying Tigers" maintained an amazing kill ratio of 8:1 over the enemy during seven months of combat operations. When the United States entered the war in 1941, the AVG was disbanded, reconstituted, and then activated as the 23rd Fighter Group on July 4th, 1942. Released February 2008 |
