This book details the colorful experiences of the elite pilots of the USAAF's Tenth and Fourteenth Air Forces in the “forgotten” China-Burma-India theatre during World War II. Inheriting the legacy of the American Volunteer Group (AVG), units such as the 23rd FG “held the line” against overwhelming Japanese forces until the arrival of the first P-38s and P-51s in 1944. The Warhawk became synonymous with the efforts of the AAF in the CBI, being used by some 40 aces to claim five or more kills between 1942-45.

“We recommend this book as an excellent resource for aircraft modelers, and very worthwhile reading for all World War II aviation enthusiasts.” - Milt Miller, Jing Bao Journal
