Guangdong, September 2025 — A newly opened exhibition at the South China Aviation Museum pays tribute to the Flying Tigers, the volunteer group of U.S. pilots who supported China during WWII. The exhibition commemorates their historic legacy while highlighting China–America aviation collaboration during wartime.
The display includes scale models of retired fighter planes, vintage uniforms, photographs of airbases at Kunming, and wartime flight maps. Visitors can trace the aerial routes and missions that defined this unique chapter in military aviation history.
Curators have included immersive audiovisual installations—projecting cockpit views and pilot interviews—to enhance the emotional impact, reminding viewers of the human courage behind every mission.
Officials emphasized that the exhibition serves as both a historical tribute and a bridge for contemporary cross-cultural dialogue between China and the West.
Enthusiasts and local schools have shown strong interest, seeing the exhibition as a timely reminder of how international solidarity and aviation innovation can shape global history.
