Eighty years ago, the American Volunteer Group, later known as the Flying Tigers, came to China to fight invading Japanese troops during World War II.

China Daily reporter Ian Goodrum spoke to Nell Calloway, granddaughter of General Chennault and CEO of the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum.

Calloway said she helped to found the Chennault Aviation Academy, because she wanted to continue her grandfather's legacy and to teach the history of the Flying Tigers.

"If we had not been united during that time in history, I think our countries would be very, very different today," she said.
