TALLY HO, EAGLES

So many young Americans came to fly and fight for England in 1940-41, they soon formed their own squadron – the Eagle Squadron. As more young Americans came, they formed three Eagle Squadrons.
In the Fall of 1942, the three RAF Squadrons became the 4th Fighter Group, US 8th Air Force.

They had started out flying Spitfires, and eating British food … then they had to change to the big P‑47, and Spam!

This is the story of that change …how they adapted to the American forces; their women, and their losses.
