COMMEMORATING THE A.V.G. RAID AT CHAING MAI

On March 24, 1942 shark-mouthed American P-40s bore the Chinese national insignia and attacked the enemy squadrons massed at the Southeast Asian eadquarters of the Japanese Air Force at Chiang Mai, Thailand, before they had a chance to get off the ground.  In less than ten minutes the enemy was severely incapacitated.  This raid was marked as one of the most memorable for the Flying Tigers.
