"Keller was the former commander R.P. KELLER, G-1, "Blood Chit" of the Black Sheep squadron. The way I understand it, the word chit was picked up by the Brits and it means 'ticket.' The Flying Tigers came from the China-BurmaIndia Theater and a lot of those guys flew C-47s over the Himalayas supplying the Chinese. The translations say, 'I'm an American, my plane is destroyed, I can't speak your language, I'm an enemy of the Japanese. Please give me food and take me to the nearest military post and you will be rewarded.'" www.aopa.org/pilot AOPA PILOT | 81http://www.aopa.org/pilot
