JAMES H. HOWARD. Photograph signed: "James H. Howard". B/w, 8x10. Taken on an airfield in England days prior to D-Day, Howard is pictured with General Dwight D. Eisenhower, British Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory and Generals Hoyt S. Vandenberg and Lewis H. Brereton. Howard (1913-1995), called "China Howard" because he was born in China, was one of the 70 pilots who flew missions with the "Flying Tigers", the American Volunteer Group (AVG) recruited and trained by General Claire Lee Chennault, from the summer of 1941 until July 1942, when the unit was absorbed into the Army Air Corps. Howard later flew combat missions in Europe in his P-51B airplane, christened Ding Hao ("You are Number One"), the phrase with which the Chinese had hailed him each time he shot down invading Japanese planes ("Flying Tigers" were paid $600 a month and $500 a kill, destroying a total of 297 Japanese planes and dispelling the myth of Japanese air superiority). Howard received the Congressional Medal of Honor for rescuing a stranded American bomber group by taking on 30 German planes in a spectacular dogfight in January 1944. He rose to the rank of General, and later detailed his exploits in Roar of the Tiger (1991). Fine condition.
