	Flying Tiger Line - Definition, explanation
		Flying Tiger Line, also known as Flying Tigers, was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War era for both cargo and personnel (the latter with leased aircraft).
		Ten pilots from the Flying Tigers formed the Flying Tiger Line after returning to the United States in 1945, using a small fleet of Budd C-93 Conestoga freighters purchased as war surplus from the United States Navy.
		During the Korean War, Flying Tiger aircraft were chartered to transport troops and supplies from the United States to Asia; Flying Tigers later received a cargo route award to Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
