Flying Tigers Shadows Over China to Soar This Summer
Sweden, March 27, in the year of our Lord 2015
– Ace Maddox today announced FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA,
an air-combat action game for PC based on the historical events
of America’s secret volunteer squadrons that flew against Japan
in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre of WW2.
Get ready to swoop the skies of Southeast Asia as FLYING TIGERS:
SHADOWS OVER CHINA reawakens a diverse set of historical WW2
air-battles, including the Japanese Christmas-raids on Rangoon
in 1941, the Flying Tigers’ first combat over Kunming in China,
the Battle of the Salween Gorge, “Hump” escort missions over the
Himalayas, the Invasion of Malaya, and the Japanese conquest of
Burma, to name a few.
Secretly recruited under President Roosevelt’s authority in
1941, the Flying Tigers were officially known as the "American
Volunteer Group”. The clandestine unit was commanded by Claire
Lee Chennault, a resigned US military-aviator who had been
advising the Chinese Air Force since 1937.
FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA is scheduled for release in
the summer of 2015.
