Windsor Buzza, commanding general of the 91st Training Division of the U.S. Army Reserve, said the first triumphant combat of the Flying Tigers in China dealt a far earlier and quicker blow than the Japanese had thought the U.S. and Chinese troops were capable of.
He stressed that what the U.S. and Chinese forces were able to achieve by cooperating together is a very good lesson for the two countries today.
"There's much more that can be gained together by cooperation and a cooperative spirit than there can be through competition or conflict," he said.
Harry Moyer, a 99-year-old veteran Flying Tigers member, recalled his war career including his bombing missions against Japan during WWII, saying it is "rewarding" to think the spirit of the Flying Tigers still continues as an inspiration.
"The spirit of the Flying Tigers bolstered the connection between the people of America and China and also between the two countries," he said.
