The only way it could be worse is if it was a Uwe Boll production...
“Top picks for the leading role, General Chennault, include Tom Cruise and John Travolta.”
Please GOD NO!
I can’t stand either one of those whackos!
Pilots they may be, so am I so screw them! LOL
Well, if it’s John Woo we know that it will have scenes in which someone dives through the air in slow motion, firing two .45 automatics while doves fly around the room.

The first paragraph shown above is misleading; the AVG (American Volunteer Group a.k.a. the Flying Tigers) protected shipment of arms and material into China by attacking Japanese forces in the air and on the ground.
btt
The volunteers didn’t call themselves “Flying Tigers,” a name coined by journalists. Nonetheless, Claire Chennault was a hero of both WWII and the Cold War.
Joun Wayne already did it and no one can do it better.
I wonder if the film will point out that the Americans were really helping the ROC government(the current government of Taiwan) fight against the Japanese. It’s not like they were flying sorties with the Chi-Coms. Let’s not pretend like the US and the PRC are long lost friends in the midst of a little tiff.
I got to meet General Robert L. Scot around 15 years ago. I guess he technically was not in the AVG tho he flew with them and also flew with them when they were absorbed into the Army Air Corps.
I think he was credited with 26 victories.
Gen. Chennault:
I just hope they don’t “f” it up like Pearl Harbor. That story is fantastic one without all the BS that was added.
How about someone like Chris Cooper as Chennault? Flyboys and heroes are not always pretty boys. I met Pappy Boyington once and his face looked like an old baseball glove.

I wonder how many flying P-40 warhawks are still out there?
