The paint job on Sky Captain's plane is that of the "Flying Tigers", a group of American fighter pilots (supposedly) paid by the Chinese government to fight the Japanese in Burma. The "Tigers" got the idea from Royal Air Force planes based in Africa in the early part of World War II. Joe briefly mentioned flying for them while arguing with Polly Perkins about his sabotaged plane. The Flying Tigers were revealed in 1991 to have been a "black" operation of the U.S. Armed Forces under direct authorization by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
