Those patches I have on below the windshield were temp. only, I had them made out of the magnetic material just to see what it was going to look like, if I decide to put it back to the flying Tiger marking's I have a friend who will paint them on for me. I just don't know if that many people will even know what the marking's mean when on display or in one of the parades I go to ??? I know the small group of guy's I hang out with will, Still thinking about it though.

Part of enjoying this great hobby is making contact with some of the great veterans we read about. Eric Shilling of Flying Tigers fame shared a few phone calls.

There is a commemorative display just outside of Ching Qing China with some Flying Tiger info it is all for Chinese Tourist's and hardly correct but it does have some history information
