Olga Greenlaw kept the War Diary of the American Volunteer Group--the Flying Tigers--while those gallant mercenaries defended Burma and China from Japanese aggression during the opening months of the Pacific War. Returning to the United States in 1942, she wrote 'The Lady and the Tigers', which war correspondent Leland Stowe hailed as "an authoritative, gutsy and true to life story of the AVG."
Out of print for more than half a century, her book has now been brought up to date by Daniel Ford, author of 'Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and His American Volunteers'. What's more, Ford explains for the first time where Olga and Harvey Greenlaw came from, how they became caught up in the saga of the Flying Tigers, and what happened to them after their tumultuous year with the AVG. This ebook edition has numerous photos of the American Volunteer Group, some published here for the first time.

When I first published a digital edition of 'The Lady and the Tigers', I left out the photographs because my e-book skills weren't up to the task. Here it is again, illustrated this time, and with some photographs never before published. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
