I have been thinking about the next generation to carry the torch for CNAC. Right now I don't know if the next or "Third Generation" has the interest to do this. I do know that the CNAC web site will go on for a very long time. I have also noted as I post some of the older Flying Tigers/Tiger Rag and OJIA papers/booklets that there is so much history in these older volumes, but then I realized that we, the "Second Generation" are creating history by continuing to publish the Cannon Ball, having the CNAC reunions and trips to China.
If you are among the Third Generation reading this and have the interest in carrying the CNAC torch, please let us know. The Flying Tigers/Tiger Rag papers covered the joint reunions between the American Volunteer Group (AVG) and the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) Association, most if not all at or near the Ojai Inn in Ojai, California (pronounced "o-hi"). Please Note:Over the years, these papers have been given various titles: Flying Tigers, The Tiger Rag or Flying Tigers Tiger Rag and just plain OJAI. If you have an issue of the Flying Tigers/Tiger Rag or OJAI Booklet that is not listed here, please contact the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore. Thanks.
