This image shows a custom building block minifigure representing a pilot from the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG), famously known as the Flying Tigers. The Flying Tigers were American volunteer pilots who flew for the Republic of China against Japan during World War II, before the U.S. officially entered the war.
The character is wearing a detailed brown leather A-2 flight jacket adorned with several historically accurate patches. These include the iconic Flying Tigers winged tiger insignia on the shoulder, the flag of the Republic of China on the back as part of a “blood chit,” and other period-specific patches. He is wearing khaki trousers and an olive green “crusher” style cap with the insignia of the Republic of China Air Force. The figure is armed with a pistol, likely meant to be a Colt M1911, and the composite image shows him from multiple angles.
