In the book, i call this period the toxic alliance because it is a period when allies become extremely resentful and angry about each other. But over all, the central problem became a very unusual command structure that was put in place for china. Essentially, the americans said, we're not oing to send american ground troops, because we're going to preserve them for e europe first strategy. But we are going to send a certain amount of aerial support. This was known quatemis as the flying tigers, the American volunteer group which was then regularized into the army after the there was official declaration of war between japan and us.
