The Flying Tigers Line was started by former members of the Flying Tigers in China and Burma. It was home based out of Los Angeles, California. Their hangers were located on the south side of LA International Airport. They were primarily a freight company, but they also got into the business of flying US military person ell under contract with the US government. Sadly, they went out of business back in the late 1980's if memory serves me right. I used to love going to LAX and watch their planes taking off and landing. One of my childhood friend's father flew for them back in the 1960's.
