   Number 1: The Story of the Flying Tigers (a special episode for Daniel)

   Episode 188: The Story of the Flying Tigers (a special episode for Daniel) In this episode of Real Cool History for Kids, we are heading back to the early days of World War II to meet one of the most famous groups of American pilots in history—the Flying Tigers! This episode is for Daniel, who wanted to hear the incredible story of the American Volunteer Group, or AVG. Led by Claire Lee Chennault, these American pilots traveled halfway around the world to help China in its fight against Japan. Flying Curtiss P-40 fighter planes with fierce shark mouths painted across their noses, the Flying Tigers quickly became famous for their courage and skill. But their story was about more than cool airplanes and daring pilots. Kids will discover why Americans were fighting in China, what made the P-40 different from Japanese fighter planes, how Chennault developed special tactics to use those differences to his advantage, and why teamwork was so important. We will also learn about the mechanics, ground crews, Chinese civilians, and Allied forces who helped make the Flying Tigers' missions possible. Grab a map, get ready for an adventure, and join us as we discover the true story of the Flying Tigers—and some great lessons about courage, wisdom, preparation, and teamwork along the way!
