Can someone mention or add Tommy Walker of the AVG. He is noted in Martin Cadin's book "The ragged, Rugged Warriors". He fought with great distinction, having two confirmed Claude kills.

Please help

Probably a member of the 14th Squadron of the CAF, or a mercenary pilot in China before 1941. There wasn't any Walker in the AVG, nor did the AVG ever encounter the A5M Claude fighter, which saw very little use in the Pacific War (i.e., after Dec 7/8).

With respect to merging AVG with the Flying Tigers article, I'm against it. The latter is awfully complex as it is. Indeed, I'd suggest moving the "2nd AVG" section out of the Flying Tigers article. Daniel Ford 10:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
