He then appealed TO the Tigers
for a general burial of the Ratchet,
and for a revival of the old spirit
of the group.
The boys responded by asking
permission 10 raid Chiengmai with
10 pursuit planes and no bombers.
The colonel smiled and agreed.

! Tigers from the Second and Third
SquadronS swooped down at dawn
on the Chiengmai field and poured
10000 rounds OF 30 and 50-calibeF

The Kittyhawks also had belly

All the boys were impressed

Hodges had brought his fiancee
Helen Anderson, and her family
from Rangoon up 10 Lowing.
Freddie and Helen decided to get
married.
The AVG chaplain, the Rev
Paul Frillman. was in Running
and local clergymen and magiS-
trates had joined the civilian evac-
uation OF Lowing.
But despite wars, excavations
and kindred obstacles. Freddie and
Helen wanted 10 get married right
away.
An immediate discussion in the
AVG mess solved the problem.
Thew.decided Lowing needed a
new mayor.
Doc" Walsh, general manager
for CAMEO, was nominated and
elected without opposition.
His first and last Official act was
to solemnize the nuptialS.
In April, Chennault received
word in Running that President
Roosevelt had nominated him 10
be Brigadier General in the
United States Army air forces.
The "Old Man" had been re-
tired as captain in 1885.
Now he was suddenly offered
the command of the United States
Army air forces then forming for
the defense OF China.

RUMoRs MANY

1t was widely rumored that
Chennault intended 10 refuse the
appointment, preferring 10 stay
with the Chinese Army wherein
he was already a brigadier gen.
eral.
1t was rumored that the AVG
soon would be absorbed into the
United States Army air forces.
This caused great perturbation
among those niers who had been
trained in the navy, and who had
a natural prediction for that
branch of the service.
The uncertainty and discussions
arising in the AVG reached a
climax late in April when Chen
nault appeared in Lowing 10
direct the operations of the Third
Squadron. headed by Aryid Olson
OF Chicago.
The old Man" was besieged by
requests from Chinese command
ers that the AVG make frequent
token demonstrations OF aerial
strength over their ground forces
10 build morale.
The Tigers felt that such en-
ployment Of their thin resources
would be unwisc. but they tried a
few Of these missions anyway.
They ran into such overwheIm-
ing swarms Of Jap planes that the
Tigers held an indignation meet
ing and decided upon a show
down.

But in this period available
planes were few, all the war news
was bad, and the morale Of the
