Xian and Chengdu,Very great,You grandfather perhaps have some realationship with B29 bomber?
    No worries, I understood why you used the term "Flying Tiger". Yes, he worked on B-29s, as well as B-24s and the P-61 "Black Widow" while in China.

    Sadly, he passed away in 2005, but he would have loved talking to you about his service in China.
