AIV utilizes proprietary security holograms and QR-code verification technology, allowing collectors to quickly access authentication records through the AIV database.

For witnessed signings, an AIV representative is present during the signing process and the authentication record is entered into the database following the event.

Authentication and integrity remain the cornerstones of AIV's verification process.

About the Flying Tigers

The American Volunteer Group (AVG), famously known as the Flying Tigers, remains one of the most legendary fighter units in military aviation history. Organized under the leadership of General Claire Lee Chennault, the AVG operated in China before the United States formally entered World War II.

Flying the iconic Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, Flying Tigers pilots earned worldwide recognition for their aggressive combat tactics, remarkable success against Japanese aircraft, and the distinctive shark-mouth markings painted on their fighters.

Despite limited resources and overwhelming odds, the AVG became a symbol of determination, courage, and American volunteerism during one of the most critical periods of the war.

About the Signers

Chuck Older was one of the AVG's leading fighter aces and later became one of the most recognized names associated with the Flying Tigers. His combat achievements in China helped establish the unit's legendary reputation.

Ken Jernstedt served as a Flying Tigers pilot and remained one of the most active ambassadors of AVG history, helping preserve the legacy of the organization for future generations.

Paul Greene served with distinction during the China campaign and contributed to the operational success of the Flying Tigers during some of the most challenging periods of the war.

Robert Raine was among the dedicated aviators who helped make the AVG one of the most effective fighter organizations of the early Pacific conflict.
