The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941–1942, famously nicknamed the Flying Tigers,
was composed of pilots from the United States Army (USAAF), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under
presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault.

The Tigers' shark-faced fighters remain among the most recognizable of any individual combat aircraft and combat
unit of World War II, and they demonstrated innovative tactical victories when the news in the U.S.
was filled with little more than stories of defeat at the hands of the Japanese forces.

All 30 missions are based on true story of AVG Flying Tiger.

It looks great, but it keeps crashing.
Phasmic

My gen 4 IPod crashes every time I start the first mission. I'm a big fan of WWII flight sims, and would love to fly this once I can fly.

Don't buy
Xt pilot

Not worth the money. I am a pilot and I am comparing it to other fly games out there that cost less. Terrible flight control, bad layout of controls, and no way to re-configure them. There is a button for a manual but nothing exist. No help no manual. Very hard to play this game! Waste of money at this point until they make it more user friendly.

Not up to Simviu's standard
El Tigre II

This is the buggiest piece of iOS software I've ever bought. Not anywhere near the quality of their Battle of Britain game. Crashes, will not even load sometimes. If I could get my money back, I would.

Not up to par
Duncan ok

Not nearly as good as other games by these folks. I like P-51, Spitfire, Battle of Britain....this just doesn't cut it. All simviu air combat games have common faults. 1) all the planes fly and fight the same. while in real life each had unique performance/maneuvering characteristics, all 4 of thee planes I fly in these games (Spitfire, Hurricane, P-51 Mustang, and P-40 Warhawks fly exactly the same in terms of maneuverability, speed, and armament punch. I think they designed a basic airframe and set of handling characteristics, with the same armament, and cosmetically changed them on the outside to represent whatever you thought you bought. Also, there are no dogfights with targets of opportunity for you to engage, just z 2,3,or 4 preselected targets to shoot down then mission over, even with plenty of fuel and ammo left. In this one too, the Japanese planes are almost untouchable, even using the tactics of the time, don't dogfight, dive through their formations, dive away, and then climb back for an attack on another flight. Finally, the engine sounds like an asthmatic washing machine that doesn't change speed no matter where. You set the throttle.

Not bad
Fear Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I was a little disappointed w quality of the graphics, but once I got into the missions all got interesting. Japanese fighters had different flight characteristics from the German ones in the Hurricane, Spitfire and P-51 games from same developer, so that you had to turn harder. The bombers were tougher to defeat (keep your distance). The only annoying thing was that even after you accomplished your mission, you had to stay up in the air till the clock run down.

Don't Buy

I got sucked in by the AVG theme since I've always been a fan. This is not a sim. No cockpit view, you can't takeoff or land. After finishing your mission (shot down all lemming bombers) you can't exit without losing unless you let the timer run out. Fly over horrible graphics and no real flight model for another 8 minutes? I don't think so! Waste of money.
