Jan 19, 1916 - Oct 21, 1966

My dad, Eugene McGuire Sr., flew with the Flying Tigers starting just after his training was completed (112E Pilot-Fighter) in August 1942. This was shortly after the Army Air Corps. took over the volunteer operation in July 1942. By this time it was known as the China Air Task Force and then finally the 14th Air Force. In his first tour he flew with the 76th Squadron and in his second tour he was in the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Group, 14th Air Force. He flew the famous P-40 Warhawk, P-51 Mustang, and many others. He finished the war as the commander of the 76th Fighter Squadron. (Oct 1945 - Dec 1945) After returning to the USA, he joined the reserves and flew the first of the U.S. Jets, the P-80 in the Deleware National Guard. He also recieved his multi-engine rating on a B-25 in August of 1943!
I would like to dedicate this site to him and all of the other heroes who served with the Flying Tigers in the 'Forgotten Theater' of China-Burma-India (CBI). I would also like to share my memories and pictures with you. Enjoy!
