FLYING TIGERS
Jim Gordon commands the AVG, a group of American mercenaries who fly P-40 fighters against the Japanese on behalf of the Chinese government. His friend “Woody” Jason joins the group, but Jason’s freewheeling flying style eventually causes the death of two other AVG pilots. On December 7, 1941 [1:13:20 to 1:22:49] Woody is bawled out by Gordon. However, the US is now in the war and orders come down to destroy a vital bridge that is so heavily defended it is a suicide mission. Gordon flies the mission, but Woody goes along as co-pilot. The bridge is destroyed but the plane is hit. Gordon bails out. Woody, who has been wounded crashes the damaged plane into an important Japanese supply train.
The date is given in the film at 1:22:45
