The flying tigers were Chinese Air Force. The planes had Chinese insignia. They were part of a group of squadrons known as the AVG (American Volunteer Group). When the US entered the war the AVG was disbanded and absorbed into the USAAF.

There were similar units flying for the Canadians and British. They were also disbanded and absorbed after 1941.
