Flying Tigers veterans saluted for 'profound friendship'

Harry Moyer, a veteran of the Flying Tigers — United States volunteer pilots who fought alongside Chinese people against Japanese aggression in World War II — turned 103 on Monday in Beijing.

He is visiting China among a delegation composed primarily of Flying Tigers veterans and their family members.

President Xi Jinping wrote a reply letter in September to Moyer, fellow Flying Tigers veteran Mel McMullen and Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation Chairman Jeffrey Greene.
