NINE LIVES OF THE FLYING TIGER, VOLUME 1: Asia @ War No. 43

After WWII, Claire Lee Chennault returned to China to create the Civil Air Transport (CAT), an airline originally involved in refugee relief missions but that was soon caught in the Chinese civil war. The near-bankrupt CAT found a last-minute investor, the newly-created U.S. CIA, which purchased CAT for its clandestine operations in Asia in this nascent Cold War period. Fully illustrated, some in color.
