‘Aleutian Tigers’
In the Aleutian Islands off Alaska, the P40Es of the Eleventh Fighter Squadron, 343rd Fighter Group were painted 
like the Flying Tigers. This was out of respect for AVG Commander General Claire Chennault and for his son John Chennault, who commanded 
the Eleventh Fighter Squadron,. Know as the “Aleutian Tigers,” and sometimes as the “Bengal Tigers,” the Eleventh Fighter Squadron 
faced a fierce and entrenched enemy in bitter arctic weather.
