Interview of Ken Jernsted by filmmaker Frank Boring for the documentary, Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers. After resigning his officer's commission with the US Marine Air Corps, Ken Jerstedt joined a large group of volunteers leaving San Francisco under the cover of the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Co. to join the AVG in 1941. He served in the Third Squadron "Hells Angels" as Flight Leader and had more than 10 victories against the Japanese. In this tape, Jernstedt describes what he was doing prior to joining the American Volunteer Group and the first time he heard of the opportunity in China. He also describes the empathy he had for the Chinese people that influenced his involvement in the AVG and the experience of traveling across the ocean to his new destination.
