We rented a video this weekend on fighters in World War II (pretty fair- it was
called _Warbirds_).  Anyhow, they spoke a bit about the Curtis P-40 Warhawk,
and the role it played in China.  My question is, what was the status of
the American pilots in the Flying Tiger outfit?  Volunteers? Mercenaries?
Was Gen. Chennault on active duty at the time?  Thanks.
