Laid to rest in Section 2 of Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia is a great American fighter and flyer. This hero is Claire Lee Chennault — commander of the Flying Tigers during World War II. Chennault was a fighter and a flyer — leading one of the most famous flying groups in aviation history. While his early flying career was noted for his stunts in a barnstorming-style air show, “Three Men on a Flying Trapeze”, his life soon turned to one of service. He began recruiting volunteers to fight against Japan prior to the United States Declaration of War against Japan. Just 14 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, this volunteer group flew their first mission — a success that got them the name, the Flying Tigers. Over the next several years, Chennault rose in the ranks to eventually serve as the chief of Army Air Forces in China. He was buried with full military honors, and his son, John Chennault (a veteran of World War II and Korea) was laid to rest by his side.
