The Eagle Squadron

Especially for 339187, and anyone else who has an interest in military history, here's a couple of links concerning the exploits of the American fighter pilots who volunteered to join the RAF and fought for Britain...

I'm surprised that Hollywood hasn't made a film about this story (there was a wartime one in 1942, but it was little more than a propaganda flick)!!!?

Was the film "A Yank in the RAF"? Clark Gable, methinks?

Try this link as well; the patch will look familar.

The film I'm on about was just called "Eagle Squadron" and didn't have any particularly big names in it.

That doesn't mean your film didn't exist though!
