Stuff To Watch This Week (Dec 4-10, 2023): Flying Tigers, Squid Game: The Challenge, And More

Flying Tigers

Richie Koh stars in this three-minute short based on Captain Ho Weng Toh, Singapore’s last surviving member of the Flying Tigers, the China-US wing who fought the Japanese during WWII, who went on to fly for the now-defunct Malayan Airlines, the precursor of Singapore Airlines. Can a three-minute short really do justice to Captain Ho's achievements? Maybe something more epic along the lines of Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air ? Just saying.
