CHAPTER XIII


Word had come now that the AVG,
with General Chennault as Com
mander, was to be inducted into the
Army Air Corps. Chennault, then a
General in the Chinese Army but a
retired Captain in the u. S. Army,
was to be given the rank of Briga-
dier General to head the China Air
Task Force. But from what I had
gathered from the few newspapers
we had received and from rumors
that filtered through, knew that
not many of the AVG were going to
accept induction.
There were officious men around
the China-Burma-India theater who
thought the AVG were unruly and
undisciplined. To these statements
] always remarked that wished we
had ten such undisciplined groups
for they would have destroyed some
three to four thousand enemy air.
planes, and that would certainly
have hindered the Japanese. There
were others who claimed that the
fighters of the AVG fought for the
high salaries and the extra bonus of
five hundred dollars for each ene-
my plane they shot down. That
made me laugh, for had seen the
AVG fight, and later on was to fly
with them against the enemy.
knew those great pilots-I knew that
they were great American adventur-
ers who would have fought just as
hard for peanuts or Confederate
money-as long as they were fight
ing for General Chennault and were
flying those beloved P-40's.
As 1t stood now: after long hours
of combat the men were tired; they
had been out of the United States
under the most trying conditions
for nearly a year. They were all
showing combat fatigue and needed
rest. Some of them were combat
weary and ought never to be risked
in combat again.
Furthermore, the induction of the
AVG had hit snag, from poor judg-
ment on the part of one man. 1t
seems that someone had lined the
boys up for fight-talk on the CLAM
our of induction into the Army, and
had used very little tact. He re-
cited newspaper stories intimating
that the AVG fought for the high
pay of Camco-between 5000 to $3.50
month, depending on whether or
not the pilot was wing man or
squadron leader. This salesman
went on to state that he sincerely
hoped the AVG would accept induc-
ton, because If they didn't, and
when their contracts with Cameo
expired, they would probably find
their draft boards waiting for them
when they stepped off the boat that
carried them back to the United
States. In that case, they would of
course be inducted as privates rath-
er than commissioned as officers.
A large percentage of the AVG
are reported to have got up and
walked out on the speech. After all,
they were high-strung fighter. pilots
who had fought one of the greatest
battles against superior odds that
has ever been reported. In this
case, they were being threatened
without complete knowledge of all
the facts involved. know that from
that day on they taught the Chinese
coolie boy on the refueling truck
jokes about that reverse sales
speech. One involved an expression
that of course was never permitted
to reach its destination. The boy
was trained by some of the AVG
who were leaving China-to run up
TO every TRANSPORT that landed. and,
