Bloody Sky, High Aspirations

The mountains and rivers were shattered, and the sky wept with blood. During the darkest period of the Chinese nation's war of resistance, the Chinese sky was allowed to be ravaged by Japanese warplanes for a long time. The country was ravaged by bombings, and thousands of people suffered deeply from the war. General Chennault, a retired U. S. Military officer, rushed across mountains and seas to China in distress. With fearless courage and firm belief, he single-handedly formed the American Volunteer Air Force to China-the Flying Tigers. A group of passionate pilots from a foreign country left their stable lives behind, piloted P-40 fighter jets painted with shark mouth paint, and took root in the skies of the southwest. Under the command of General Chennault, they broke the long-standing monopoly of the Japanese army in the air. They repeatedly defeated the large with the small and the strong with the weak. They started the legendary first battle over Kunming and achieved great military exploits. In a desperate situation, they flew over natural dangers to open a hump route, built an aerial lifeline with their flesh and blood, and transported precious combat supplies to the front line. Under the smoke-filled sky, the Flying Tiger soldiers fought side by side with the Chinese military and civilians, sharing life and death, and formed a sincere friendship across national borders amidst the artillery fire. This book looks back at this turbulent time with delicate writing, restores General Chennault's responsibility for his family and country, his vision and courage, and portrays the Flying Tigers.
