Interview of P. Y. Shu by filmmaker Frank Boring for the documentary, Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers. Col. P. Y. Shu was a Chinese interpreter for the American Volunteer Group (AVG). After attending college in China, he attained a Masters in municipal government administration from the University of Michigan.

In this tape, Shu describes his upbringing in China and attending the University of Michigan before meeting General Chennault. He also describes the trip he took with Chennault to inspect air bases and act as an interpreter for the group prior to the AVG being organized.
