Teaser video inspired by U.S. Army General George S. Patton's infamous speech [that was] given on the day before D-Day and the Allied invasion of France.
Sweden, August 25, 2015 – Ace Maddox, an independent developer of air-combat action games, today released an extended teaser video for FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA, a historical aerial-action game currently available on Steam Early Access based on the events of America’s secret volunteer squadrons that flew against Japan in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre of World War 2.

Dubbed "Not Shovelling Sh*t in Louisiana", the extended teaser is narrated and acted to portray Claire Lee Chennault whom by many historians is considered the founder of the American Volunteer Group, aka the Flying Tigers, and who grew up in the Louisianan towns of Gilbert and Waterproof. The script was inspired by General Patton's infamous speech given on the 5th of June, 1944 -- the day before D-Day and the Allied invasion of France.
ABOUT FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA
“The sky was a maelstrom of exploding bombers, twisting tracers, flaming parachutes, and Robert’s own burning fighter... then his engine quit!
Get ready to swoop the skies of Southeast Asia as FLYING TIGERS: SHADOWS OVER CHINA re-enacts a diverse set of historical World War 2 air-battles, including the Japanese Christmas-raids on Rangoon in 1941, the Flying Tigers’ first combat over Kunming in China, the Battle of the Salween Gorge, “Hump” escort missions over the Himalayas, the Invasion of Malaya, and the Japanese conquest of Burma, to name a few.
Secretly recruited under President Roosevelt’s authority in 1941, the Flying Tigers were officially known as the "American Volunteer Group”. The clandestine unit was commanded by Claire Lee Chennault, a resigned US military-aviator and an advisor to Chinese Air Force.
