Posts from William T Brooks in thread „Flying Tigers (1942)“

Much of the Film The "Flying Tigers" was Filmed in Flagstaff, Arizona, Of All Places !!!

I still can Remember when this happened on December 7Th. 1941, we were at the Old Fox Theater in Phoenix watching a John Wayne Film.
:teeth_smile:
They Stopped the Movie and told us what had Happened and everyone Left The Theater and the U.S.A. WAS AT WAR !!!

Vera ;

If you go to the Site Below by His Son, it will tell you all about "Claire Chennault" the leader of the "Real Flying Tigers" that the Film was Based On.

I know a little about the Air Force Base that was Named after Him and His Son talks about on His Site , because that was my Home Air Force Base in the early 1950s back when I was Flying B-29s in the Korean War.

Claire Chennault was One Of The Giants of U.S. Aviation History!!!
