B-24 in China Summary

B-24 in China: General Chennault's Secret Weapon in World War II by A. B. Feuer

As part of Gen. Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers, American bomber pilots flew dangerous low-altitude missions against Japanese targets in and near China during World War II. Using B-24 Liberators equipped with top-secret radar for nighttime flying, these men sent a staggering amount of Japanese shipping--over a million tons--to the bottom of the South China Sea in little more than a year. This is the true story of aerial combat in one of the war's most exotic theaters of operation as seen through the eyes of one of its most decorated pilots, Capt. Elmer Hainan Harry Haynes.
