S4 [ENCORE] - World War II Aviation Stories: An American “ghost pilot,” and the Japanese fighter pilot who became a god in Tainan 台南

Formosa Files presents two incredible stories about WWII
airmen in this week’s remastered, re-edited encore episode
(first released in Sept. 2022). 





First, a tale by the author of “God is My Co-Pilot” about a
U.S. pilot who cobbled together a plane – with bamboo “skis”
instead of wheels – and flew it on an epic raid a year after the
Pearl Harbor attacks. 





And second, the story of how a young Japanese fighter pilot from
Mito (near Tokyo) became “General Flying Tiger,” a deity
worshiped at a temple in Tainan City, Taiwan. 





We recommend listening to the whole episode; however, if you're
only interested in the “General Flying Tiger” story, skip to
about minute 14.
