War Eagles: The Story Of The Eagle Squadron is a non-fiction book written by James Saxon Childers. The book is a detailed account of the American volunteers who fought for the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. These volunteers were known as the Eagle Squadron, and the book tells their story from their formation in 1940 to their eventual disbandment in 1942.The book covers the early days of the Eagle Squadron, when American pilots were eager to join the fight against the Nazis but were unable to do so because the United States was still neutral. It also covers the training these pilots received before being sent to England to join the RAF, as well as their experiences flying Spitfires and Hurricanes in combat.Throughout the book, Childers provides detailed accounts of the Eagle Squadron's missions, including their participation in the Battle of Britain and the invasion of North Africa. He also includes personal stories of the pilots, both in the air and on the ground, and provides insight into the camaraderie that developed among these men who had left their homeland to fight for a foreign country.War Eagles: The Story Of The Eagle Squadron is a well-researched and engaging book that provides a unique perspective on the early years of America's involvement in World War II. It is a must-read for anyone interested in aviation history, military history, or the story of the American volunteers who fought for the RAF.This is a new release of the original 1943 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
