Claire Chennault in 1932, at one time included two enlisted pilots who continued to serve after their release from active duty as reserve officers. From left are Sgt. William C. McDonald, Capt. Chennault and Sgt. John H. Williamson. Later, each helped train China's air force prior to World War II. SSgt. Ray Clinton also flew solo stunt and backup for the team. (U.S. Air Force photo)
