Answer:

The Flying Tigers was the first American volunteer group to work for the Chinese Air Force during 1941 and 1942. There were American pilots from the United States Army Air Corps, Navy and Marine Corps, and their commander was Lee Chennault whom under Presidential Authority, recruited and commanded the group.

The group was set to train in Burma before America´s official entry into World War II. They were formed by Three fighting squadrons and each one had about 30 airplanes. The principal mission for the Flying Tigers was to defend China against the Japanese forces, and stop their advance into China´s territory. All of the volunteers of the group were officially integrated into the Chinese Air Force. Some of the members of the group were civilians but mainly the recruits came from the Us military.

All members of the group had contracts paying them from $250 for an airplane mechanic to $600 for a pilot and about $750 for a commander. Also, they were paid $500 extra for every Japanese plain they destroyed.  The overall pay was an excellent incentive, since it was more than three times what they were making in the US military.  

The first combat mission for the group came on December 20th 1941, exactly 12 days after the attack of Pearl Harbor. The group gained notoriety by showing new and innovative tactical victories to defeat the Japanese pilots. When most of the news in America was about defeats caused by the Japanese, they were the starts and gave a lot of hope that the US will soon defeat the Japanese. During its missions the group downed 291 enemy aircraft while only suffering 14 pilot losses.

What was a focus of the constitution of 1824

<span>red control that Spain had exercised on its North American territories, and the new country of Mexico was formed from much of the individual territory that had comprised New Spain.[2] The victorious rebels issued a provisional constitution, the Plan de Iguala. This plan reaffirmed many of the ideals of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 and granted equal citizenship rights to all races.[2] In the early days of the country, there was much disagreement over whether Mexico should be a federal republic or a constitutional monarchy.[3] One of the leaders of the revolution became the first monarch, Agustin I. Discontent with Agustin's national government grew, Brigadier Antonio López de Santa Anna initiated an insurrection. Generals issued the Plan of Casa Mata on 1 February 1823. The plan won the support of the provinces because it included a provision granting local authority to the provincial deputations. The election of a new legislature constituted the plan’s principal demand, because provincial leaders considered the composition of the first congress to be flawed. Following the precedent of the Hispanic Cortes, Mexican political leaders considered the executive to be subservient to the legislature. Thus, a new congress, which did not possess the liabilities of the old, could restore confidence even if the executive remained in place. Mexican politicians, of course, expected the new body to keep the emperor in check. Agustin abdicated in March 1823. The failure of Iturbide’s short-lived empire ensured that any future government would be republican. The reconvened Mexican Cortes appointed a triumvirate called the Supreme Executive Power which would alternate the presidency among its members on a monthly basis. But the question of how the nation was to be organized remained unresolved. The Mexican Cortes, following the Cádiz model, maintained that it was sovereign since it represented the nation. The provinces, however, believed that they possessed sovereignty, a portion of which they collectively ceded to form a national government. The Cortes insisted on writing the nation’s constitution, but the provinces maintained that it could only convene a new constituent congress based on the electoral regulations of the Constitution of Cádiz. Neither side was willing to cede. In the months that followed, the provinces assumed control of their governments through their provincial deputations. Four provinces, Oaxaca, Yucatán, Guadalajara, and Zacatecas, converted themselves into states. To avoid civil war, the Cortes acquiesced and elected a new constituent congress. Elections for a second constituent assembly, based on a convocatoria issued 26 June 1821 by the Hispanic Cortes, were held throughout the nation in August and September. The executive branch w</span>
