Description

Flying Tiger Memories tells the story of one of the world's most legendary airlines through the eyewitness stories and memories of its employees, pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and friends. From humble beginnings during World War 2 to the golden piston prop days and the Jet Age, this book takes you on a journey through the history of the Flying Tiger Line.

From the birth of the airline among American pilots fighting in China, to the Boeing 707, Douglas DC-8, Boeing 747 Jumbo, and the 1989 billion-dollar merger that made FedEx a global brand, this book is filled with daring tales of bravery, incredible stories of survival, and plenty of laughs along the way.

A collaboration between aviation historian Guy Van Herbruggen and author Charles Kennedy, Flying Tiger Memories is an essential companion to other books on the subject, making it a must-have for fans of aviation, airlines, history, war stories, adventures, and travel.
