The Lotus Project and Beyond

By Sam Ackerman

About the book
He was a wanted man with a price on his head. He was wanted by the Japanese during world war two. But they all were wanted, those members of the famous flying tigers and later on as members of the Chinese-American composite wing. Every day they planned and sought out the enemy. The object was to wreck havoc on the Japanese for the horror they brought to the American people at Pearl Harbor and to our friends in the republic of china. You are about to read the story of a great American who did his best to defend his country in time of war and peace.
