Just wondering:
Technically, what happened to the AVG (Flying Tigers) pilots who, in the late 1930s, were recruited by Mrs CHIANG Mei Ling and fought the Japs in Guang Xi Province?

In WWI, a Chinese fighter pilot in the French Foreign Legion had a record of: two airplane kills, one balloon kill, one damaged, and two forced landings.

By September-October 1924, his unit disbanded and he disappeared (?) back to Shang Hai.
