It is with pleasure that I give you the consent of the Chennault family
to use the Flying Tiger logo to use with your Tiger Flight group in
whatever way you deem necessary. My father, General Chennault, would be very
happy with you using this logo in connection with working with young people
and especially in teaching them about flying.
The Air Show that my daughter and I were invited to in October in Rome,
Ga. and in which your group perfomed was wonderful. We especially
enjoyed the Tiger Flight because of the relationship with our Flying
Tigers.
If I can be of any further service to you or your group just let me know."
