The record of a teenager's journey from China to America during the 1930's and 40's and the history he recorded along the way. Leaving a new bride in China in 1935, he was sent to America to find safety, work and money. Instead of attaining a fortune, he became involved with the American Volunteer Group (the A.V.G. Or the Flying Tigers), its service and its people. He became a part of a unique group in the AVG, along with ten other American Chinese; the Chinese American Volunteer Group - the CAVG. His AVG experience proved more valuable than any wealth he could obtain. His involvement with the AVG provided training, danger, excitement and a way to return to his bride. As the War progressed, his wife joined him on the battlefield in China and together they endured and raised a family by the War's end. Their adventure is presented through photographs, documents and personal narratives. Their journey accomplished the objective of finding a better life for themselves and their family and more. As their story was being compiled to be published, it became very clear that a greater objective for them was achieved; that of recording the tremendous grace of God that saw them safely through a very uncertain time in the world's history. Their story recounts the ever present and sustaining grace given to them by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here's the story of how a handful of young Americans, fighting with improvised equipment, commanded the air against superior enemy forces and won! Written by a radio operator who served as a member of the AVG (American Volunteer Group) throughout their existence, this fascinating, intimate story of General Claire Lee Chennault's "Flying Tigers" is loaded with original photographs and numerous first-hand accounts from the author's personal diary. It's all here - the whole story of how the AVG shot down over 650 Japanese plane using obsolete P-40s and a communications network that covered China with a protective "umbrella." This ground based radio network (in which the author operated) kept the pilots so well-informed of enemy air activity that they were seldom surprised by Japanese attacks. Enjoyable to read, this memoir will give you a taste of the "local flavor" of life in China while under Japanese attack. You'll find a musing anecdotes and accurate descriptions of the author's duty as a radio operator as well as the wartime activities of other AVG member. Now, the complete story of the AVG - the deadliest, most efficient group of fighter pilots and support personnel ever assembled - is brought to life again through original photographs and behind the scenes descriptions! Robert M. Smith was a sergeant-air mechanic first class for the U.S. Air Force when the recruiters arrived on base looking for volunteers for the Chinese Air Force. He was discharged from the Air Force and went to China to join the American Volunteer Group, "THe Flying Tigers." When the AVG disbanded in July, 1942 he re-enlisted as a technical sergeant and retured to China with the Army Airways Communications System. Presently he is the treasurer and on the executive committee of the American Volunteer Group Association.

A Personal Account of the Most Famous Fighter Squadrons of World War II. They flew the most recognizable planes in the world, boldly decorated to look like sharks' heads with teeth bared in a grin that Japanese pilots would never forget. They were the American Volunteer Group commanded by Claire Chennault, nicknamed The Flying Tigers...and they turned the tide of the Empire of Japan's aggressive domination of the Far East. Hero of the Himalayas is the memoir of Eddie Long, one of the elite Chinese pilots who joined The Flying Tigers. His story is inspiring and amazing, from his death-defying experiences flying the infamous Hump Route to facing the Japanese in air battles. Eddie's personal reminiscences and meticulous research has provided historical context and anecdotes about other Flying Tiger pilots, and experiences of the Chinese people before, during, and after the war. The gallantry and courage of Eddie Long is mirrored in the dedication and sacrifice of the Chinese citizens who helped the AVG during the war, doing everything from building runways using only stone rollers to rescuing wounded pilots...all at the risk of their own safety. A testament to the human spirit, and a fascinating history lesson, Hero of the Himalayas will give you a unique understanding of a crucial aspect of the Allies' success in defeating the Japanese, as well as showing the amazing heights to which people can rise in the causes of love, brotherhood, and freedom.

This book investigates the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on development and well-being (beyond economic benefits) and highlights some emerging issues relating to the realities, constraints and digital divides with particular reference to India. It collects a series of novel contributions, studying the Indian experience in an international cross-country perspective. The book also discusses economic, social, and behavioural aspects of well-being as well as access to ICTs across regions, states and individuals to account for the digital divide. The book establishes an aggregate relationship between ICT exposure and well-being at the country level and addresses a number of fundamental issues, such as whether ICT raises the level of transparency and governance. Based on case studies and anecdotal evidence, it then further assesses the effective implementation of service delivery through ICT innovations. The book is divided into four parts: The introductory part surveys the literature and presents background information on the Indian case; introduces the main themes on the relationships between ICT, socio-economic development and digital divides; and provides a summary and roadmap to the chapters of the book. Part II focuses on the impact of ICT on economic performance, including economic growth, productivity and trade. Part III examines the extent of the digital divides in India, including international, regional as well as inter-personal inequality. Finally, Part IV investigates the impact of ICT on governance, users’ well-being and social outcomes. Combining insights from analyses of a variety of socio-economic dimensions related to digitalisation, this book is relevant for a wide range of scholars and researchers across disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers. While the book has a main focus on India, various contributions take an international cross-country comparative perspective, and the results have general relevance for digitalisation and development. On the whole, the main message of this book is that the impact of ICTs is contingent upon other assets, capabilities and institutional conditions. National policies should, therefore, not only promote digitalization as such but also ensure its co-evolution and complementarity with a variety of other country-specific factors.
