This book is the first to provide the operational records and combat reports of the three American Eagle Royal Air Force squadrons--units comprised of volunteer American pilots who served with the British prior to the U.S. entering the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The records tell the story of the more than 200 pilots who, against federal law, flew with the British in their fight against Nazi Germany. While some Americans served individually in other RAF units, these three squadrons--the 71st, 121st and 133rd--were the only ones organized exclusively for Americans. They were the first of dozens of American fighter squadrons that would soar over Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments  vi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface  1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction  3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: Operational Record Books  9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 71  20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 121  83\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 133  132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II: Fighter Command Combat Reports  157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 71  157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 121  189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Air Force Squadron 133  201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes  215\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography  217\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex  219\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040467419479,"sku":"9781476679549","price":48.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476679549.jpg?v=1750946847","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-american-eagle-squadrons-of-the-royal-air-force-9781476679549","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
