WWII Day-By-Day: April 15
15 Apr 41: President Roosevelt approves the formation of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) of combat pilots in China. This unit will become the famous Flying Tigers. The Flying Tiger insignia, created by the Walt Disney Company, was proudly worn by General and Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. The Walt Disney Studio created an estimated 1,200 insignias over the course of the war and assigned a crew of five studio artists to produce morale-boosting insignias, nose art and posters. #WWII #History
