Flying Tigers Blood Chit The concept of the blood chit originated in China during the early days of World War II. It was created by members of General Chennault's American Volunteer Group — the Flying Tigers.
The famed pilots wore Chinese and American flags, and a message in Chinese characters. The translated message said that they were American airmen fighting the Japanese invaders of China; they had met misfortune and needed help in evading the Japanese and assistance in returning to their home base.
Our Flying Tigers Blood Chits are stenciled on silk, just like the originals. This silk patch is suitable for framing or attaching to the inside of your favorite flight jacket (the silk version was meant to be attached to the jacket's lining, as it is not weather-proof). These high-quality blood chits are a part of American history, and a must-own for all collectors and aviation enthusiasts! They also make the perfect gift, as well as a truly authentic addition to any A-2 or G-1 leather flight jacket! Measures 9.5" x 13"
