War Eagles is the story of the Eagle Squadron, a group of courageous young Americans who joined the RAF because they loved flying and because they couldn't wait for the U.S. to get into war. Why they left home for the battle front, how they were trained, how they took part in such raids as that on Dieppe, how they spent their leisure time-these are only a few of the many subjects covered in a book which contains laughter and tears, horseplay and tragedy, modesty and heroics. War Eagles is filled with rapid-fire action, memorable characters, exciting information. Interviews with the pilots themselves and official records of the British Air Ministry form the basis of this thrilling true story of aerial warfare. War Eagles was published in 1943.
War Eagles . . . is a story about the American Spitfire pilots in the famous Eagle Squadron of the Royal Air Force. It's the only authentic story yet published of how they lived and fought and died. For the first time the British Air Ministry have opened official records-combat reports, the squadron's history. It's the story of those American volunteers in the R.A.F. Fighter Command who flew into battle when the clouds hung dark over 'The tight little isle.'
War Eagles . . . is also a complete and up-to-date story about today's air fighting on the Western front: about the tactics and strategy behind the planes and behind the pilots in the gigantic air war over Europe.
War Eagles . . . is written by a famous author who is also a flyer. He lived with the Eagle pilots. He describes them exactly as they are-flying into combat, returning, playing. He caught the picture of how adventurous young men lived and laughed and loved when tomorrow, perhaps, might never come.
War Eagles . . . is a living story of high adventure-in the skies of England, Holland, Belgium, France.
