Longburst and the Flying Tigers

Longburst and the Flying Tigers

By Jim Dumas (author)

The true story of a barefoot farm boy from the red-clay hills of Arkansas who became an aerial combat warrior in World War II. In his own words, Jim “Longburst” Dumas — who later served as the mayor of Chowchilla, California —shares the sights, sounds, and smells of the life he lived with the Fighting Tigers pilot group. Dumas flew 62 combat missions in the cockpit of a P-40 fighter plane, engaging Japanese Zeroes and bombers. His autobiography gives a glimpse into the soul of a young man caught up in the swirling forces of war.
