The American WWII Fighter Pilot Who Took on 15 Enemy Planes and Won

In October 1943, a lone American fighter pilot spotted 15 enemy aircraft circling above a helpless formation of B-25 bombers over the Yangtze River valley. No backup. No wingmen. No choice. He dove anyway. This is the true story of Lieutenant James Howard Medal of Honor recipient, former Flying Tiger, and the only fighter pilot in the China-Burma-India theater to receive America's highest military honor for a single engagement. For 30 unrelenting minutes, Howard fought an entire enemy squadron by himself, protecting eleven bombers and their crews with nothing but skill, nerve, and a rapidly emptying ammunition belt.

In this video, we break down the full story from Howard's early days flying with the American Volunteer Group (the legendary Flying Tigers) to the moment he made a decision that should have been impossible.
