History undercover talks to over a dozen former Air America employees to create the definitive chronicle of the shadowy airline. From its origins with the legendary Flying Tigers of WWII to the final days of the Vietnam War, see how Air America was a cornerstone of U.S. Southeast Asian policy for nearly a quarter century. While maintaining a thin cover, the group flew clandestine missions over China, Korea, and Vietnam, piloted by men who were no less remarkable than the airline itself.

Originally broadcast as a segment of the television series "History undercover" on the History Channel.
