Movie Info

Jim Gordon is the head of a group of American pilots working for the Chinese government against the invading Japanese two years prior to Pearl Harbor. Hothead Woody Jason joins them but despite being a hotshot flyer, he's also a liability. When he causes the death of veteran pilot Hap Smith, the rest ostracize him and only an ultimate sacrifice will wipe the slate clean.

Audience Reviews for Flying Tigers

  • May 13, 2008
    This is a solid movie from the 40's. Basic plot is a group of American pilots who volunteer their services to the defense of China against the Japanese. The story main focus is on John Wayne and John Carroll characters. Wayne is the leader of this group of pilots and Carroll plays the hot head cocky character Woody. The story leads the characters to war, death, friendships, love and duty to their country when America gets into the war with Japan. Some typical stereotypes when it comes to the Chinese actors but expected from the time this film was made. Solid acting all around. Wayne and Carroll are excellent in their roles. The movie has some dog fight scenes throughout. Not that great when compared to movies today but they did their job for a film from the 40's. If your a John Wayne or John Carroll fan check this out or just looking for a old film about WWII then check this out.
