/ world today news/ On October 31, a ceremony was held in the Chinese city of Guilin, where the historical committee of the US Flying Tigers squadron donated 80 historical relics to the local heritage park.
Among them are the personal belongings of General Claire Lee Chenault. The general was the founder of the squadron in 1941 with the main objective of helping China fight against the Japanese aggressors. In 1943, the Flying Tigers were officially incorporated into the US 14th Air Force.
During the war in aid of China, more than 2,000 American members of the Flying Tigers died in combat. In March 2015, the local Air Squadron Heritage Park was completed in Guilin, on the site of the former Yantan Airport.
