Book excerpt: Brigadier General Claire L. Chennault commanded the Fourteenth Air Force from 1942 to 1945; its mission was to hold the line against further incursion by the Japanese into China, Burma and India. The Chinese American Composite Wing (CACW) was formed in 1943 under the Fourteenth. While it was a small group, it was recognized for its valor and cooperation: The airmen and crews came from China and the US, bound together to fight a common enemy. Their efforts-many of which are captured in this book-contributed to the end WWII and defeat of the Japanese Imperial Forces.
