About Tigers And Tomahawks: The American Volunteer Group
Product Description Author J. Ward Boyce spent more than 35 years gathering information and talking to the members of this unique combat group, in order to compile the most complete, authorative and historically accurate account of their incredible adventures. This is the true story of the "Flying Tigers" - A group of American adventurers, idealists and yes, mercenaries, who fought the Japanese in the skies over Burma and China in the early days of World War II, and who captured the imagination of the world to such an extent that 80 years later, their name is still as widely recognized as the shark's mouth insignia of their Curtiss P-40 fighter aircraft. Review "...belongs at the head of the long line of books about this legendary combat unit..." - Carl Molesworth, Aviation Historian and Author "The most complete and accurate history of the Flying Tigers that I've ever read." -Bob Andrade, A.V.G. Historian About the Author A native Texan, Ward Boyce graduated from Texas A&M with a BS in mechanical engineering and a commission in the U.S. Air Force. He spent 28 years in the Air Force, including 12 years as a backseater in the F-101B and the RF-4C. During the Vietnam War, he flew 234 combat sorties in the Phantom, including 113 over North Vietnam.Upon retiring from the Air Force as a colonel in 1988, he was hired by the American Fighter Aces Association as their executive director, a position he held for the next 12 years, and still serves as a member of their board of directors.Returning home to Austin, Texas, in 1998 with Mary Ray Graves, his wife now for 60 years, he is still active in several veterans' organizations, including the Air Force Association, Daedalians, Quiet Birdmen and the Red River Rats.
