The Forgotten American Volunteer Group by Dan Hagedorn (Paperback Book)

Key Publishing Ltd

While volumes have been devoted to the legendary \""Flying Tigers,\"" the ultimate American Volunteer Group, another virtually unknown band of flyers preceded them in 1932. When Colombia and Peru became embroiled in what is known as the \""Leticia Affair,\"" a little-heralded arms race ensued. The Curtiss-Wright Export Corporation saw an opening and soon had not only sold the Colombians on an impressive assortment of aircraft types but also an American cadre to bridge the gap until their own crews were ready. Illustrated with rare contemporary illustrations, this books tells the fascinating story of these oft-forgotten men and the aircraft they flew.\n\nThe Forgotten American Volunteer Group\nUS Volunteers in the Columbia-Peru War, 1932\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nWhile volumes have been devoted to th;
