Eagles of the RAF: The World War II Eagle Squadrons

U.S. citizens fought & died in WW II long before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Among them were the pilots of the Eagle Squadrons, three fighter squadrons of Britains Royal Air Force manned by young U.S. flyers. This book tells how the Eagle squadrons were formed & summarizes the history of the units & evaluates their deeds, motivations, & contributions. Draws on interviews from more than 35 surviving Eagles, their letters & memoirs, & official records. Depicts their daily lives along with special heroes & amazing sacrifices. An important contribution to the study of American involvement in WWII. Highly recommended.
