Default Re: Flying Tigers' Blood Chit
The term "Blood Chit" is derived from the Chinese for "Life Payment." A chit is a promise of payment or reward, and blood indicates life. Therefore a Blood Chit can be considered the promise of a reward for the flyer's life. The message was clear and easily recognized by the Chinese.
