"More than 80 years after he was killed in combat during #WorldWarII, 1st Lt. Morton Sher, a #Jewish #American #fighterpilot who flew with the legendary #FlyingTigers, has finally been brought to #kevurasYisroel and laid to rest with full honors.

Sher was buried last week in #Greenville, #SouthCarolina, closing a chapter that had remained unresolved since 1943. For decades, an empty grave and headstone stood in his memory, a painful symbol of a life lost in war but never recovered."

Gotta love the P-40. One of my alltime favorites besides the P-51.

These American mercenaries are revered in China. Their relatives are among the few US invitees to Xi’s WWII military parade #WWII #FlyingTigers

Vào Thứ Bảy vừa qua, Los Angeles tổ chức lễ ra mắt các bức tượng điêu khắc Flying Tigers, kỷ niệm 80 năm chiến thắng trong Cuộc Chiến Tranh Kháng Nhật. Sự kiện tôn vinh lòng dũng cảm và tình bạn giữa Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc. Hãy nhớ về lịch sử và sức mạnh của sự đoàn kết! #FlyingTigers #LịchSử #LosAngeles #CựuBinh https://ift.tt/ja9I2eA

The final game starts with a Lakeland #FlyingTigers’ 6:30 first pitch.

Think kgarrett1969’s cool view 3 rows up from the warning track, & to the left of the visitor’s dugout, gives you a good idea of how well you'll be able to watch the plays when it gets dark in the later innings. 11/11

Here's another shot of one of my favourite Curtiss Warhawks, 'The Jacky C' (please click on image). This is a P-40M-10-CU is finished in the colours of the famous 'Flying Tigers' who flew against the Japanese in WW2. The aircraft actually saw service with the Royal Canadian Air Force. #WW2 #history #militaryaviation #aircraft #FlyingTigers #China #Burma #aviation #aviationphotography #photography #flight #RCAF #RoyalCanadianAirForce #airshow #sharkmouth #Mastodonaviation #Mastodonphotography #avgeek #P40 #Curtiss #Warhawk

Die Geschichte der Freiwilligeneinheit #FlyingTigers mit denen sich die USA an die Seite Chinas im Kampf gegen Japan stellte, wurde mehrfach verfilmt.

Unter anderem mit dem Rassisten #JohnWayne in der Hauptrolle.
