During World War II, in the skies over Rangoon, Burma, a handful of American pilots met and bloodied the "Imperial Wild Eagles" of Japan and in turn won immortality as the Flying Tigers. One of America's most famous combat forces, the Tigers were recruited to defend beleaguered China for $600 a month and a bounty of $500 for each Japanese plane they shot down—fantastic money in an era when a Manhattan hotel room cost three dollars a night. To bring his prize-winning history of the American Volunteer Group up to date, Daniel Ford has completely rewritten his 1991 text, drawing on the most recent U.S., British, and Japanese scholarship. New material from AVG veterans—including Erik Shilling and Tex Hill—help fill out the story, along with newfound recollections from Japanese and New Zealand airmen. Ford also takes up the rumors that Royal Air Force pilots "sold" combat victories to the Flying Tigers in order to share in the bounties paid by the Chinese government. "Admirable," wrote Chennault biographer Martha Byrd of Ford's original text. "A readable book based on sound sources. Expect some surprises." Even more could that be said of this new and more complete edition.

評分一提起“飛虎隊”,人們立刻會想到畫著張開血盆大口的鯊魚形象的戰鬥機,想到那位目光如炬的陳納德,想到“頂好”的手勢……無論是哪個形象,都伴隨著人們對這支特殊隊伍的好感與敬仰。 稍對中國抗戰史有所瞭解的人,尤其是中國人,也絕不會不知道陳納德和飛虎隊,這兩個名字...
評分 評分21世紀什麼最缺?人纔! 電影《天下無賊》裏麵,彪叔如是說道。而在實際生活中,這個時代,人纔甚至比電影裏更加重要。這一點,不管是日益天價的球員轉會費還是企業人纔不斷攀升的跳槽薪水,都可以證明。古人說: 韆金易得,一將難求。 而現在,不僅僅是中國的人口紅利時代已經...
