Where to Watch De vliegende tijgers
- John Moss9 september 2025Robust John Wayne propaganda movie from 1942 (not far beyond Pearl Harbor) about a group of Americn volunteers airpilots fighting to liberate China against the Japanese before and after Dec 7, 1941. Lots of dogfight action that is fascinating considering the lack of CGI. Good curio from WW2.
- Mister Arn7 juni 2025“Flying Tigers” is a wartime action film that doubles as a patriotic rallying cry. Starring John Wayne, it offers a dramatized portrayal of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) fighting in China before the U.S. officially entered World War II. Don’t look for strict historical accuracy; this is fiction, not a memoir. The aerial combat scenes are thrilling, even if pieced together from stock footage. As a product of its era, it leans heavily on propaganda and reflects the racial stereotypes common at the time. For fans of John Wayne or classic World War II films, it still holds appeal.
