Meet 104-year-old Chen Ping Ching, the last living member of WWII's legendary 'Flying Tigers' squadron
The Flying Tigers consisted of three fighter squadrons, each of which had about 30 aircraft to deploy. They first arrived in China in April 1941 and engaged in their first combat on Dec. 20, 1941, 12 days after Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
The group has a significant role in history, having achieved notable victories during the lowest points of the war for the U.S. and the Allied Forces. This kept alive the hope that Japan would eventually be defeated. Records show that they managed to destroy 296 enemy aircraft while losing only 14 pilots.
