to say
this painting won an award at Lunacon in New York in 2005. It
depicts a fantasy exaggeration of the teamwork between the Nationalist
Chinese and the A.V.G. (American Volunteer Group) in the second
world war. The American unit, known as the Flying Tigers, flew
on behalf of the Chinese, so their U.S. made Curtiss
P-40 B/C Tomahawk fighter
planes carried the emblem of China, not the U.S.A. The emblem
is repeated in the clouds. The Dragon, representing the Chinese
Spirit, siezes a Japanese Zero fighter from the tail of the plane
flown by Charles Older of the Hell's Angels unit.
