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 British prior to the U.S. entering the war. 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 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." $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Royal Air Force $x History $y World War, 1939-1945 $v Sources. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Eagle Squadrons $b Eagle Squadrons $v Sources. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Squadron, 71 $b Squadron, 71 $v Sources. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Squadron, 121 $b Squadron, 121 $v Sources. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Squadron, 133 $b Squadron, 133 $v Sources. 610 17 $a Great Britain. $b Royal Air Force $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549585 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, British $v Sources. 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $z United States. 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Fighter pilots. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923988 650 7 $a Military operations, Aerial $x British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710205 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423900 700 1 $a Good, Timothy S. $q (Timothy Sean), $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E102666BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
