Definition
飞虎队 refers to two distinct groups: the Flying Tigers, a group of American volunteer pilots who fought alongside China during World War II, and the Special Duties Unit (nicknamed the Flying Tigers), an elite police tactical unit in Hong Kong. The term is culturally loaded — the WWII reference carries historical weight and is often used in Chinese media and education, while the Hong Kong police unit is a modern, specialized force. Context determines which meaning applies.
