Thank you for your excellent work! ?

 

Resurrecting the tough fighting history of the AVG is always one of my dreams,  it occupies a special place in my heart and also my fellow Chinese friends. These mere a hundred Hawk 81A aircraft squeezed from RAF order and these temporarily resembled men put a great fight against Japanese army airforce at south-western China and Indo-china. Although it's not anything near a formidable force, it represent the great friendship and cooperation between allies against the facist Japanese in the darkest hour for the Chinese airforce.

 

This link my help you with some reference, and I may have some more photos and reference for you later, please keep up your good effort! :drinks:

Just FWIW I grew up in San Antonio Texas and Brig. Gen David Lee "Tex" Hill was my mentor and instrumental in my decisions for my aviation career. I was frequently in the study in his home on Burr Rd. Ed Rector lived not far from there as well. I knew Tex pretty well and was able to spend a fair amount of time with him over the years. Great guy and could still put away the scotch.

Looks really nice.  We were able to get a new Junior High school named for Tex about 5 years ago. I think he would have really got a kick out of this. 

Nice work, I don't know how you guys do it!
