The "Eagle" Squadrons of WWII were all-American units of the Royal Air Force, made up of men who made their way to England to fly in the name of freedom and adventure. Many had to evade the Federal Bureau of Investigations to get there as the United States remained neutral at that time. Some padded their log books to bolster their claims to flight experience, some lied about their ages if they were too young.

Although the Eagles destroyed or damaged many hundreds of enemy aircraft, ships, locomotives, cargo trains, tanks, anti aircraft guns and weapons stores, the price was high. One Eagle in three did not live to see the United States again. The pilots flew on the edge of operational limits, with little regard for safety margins. Men were killed or seriously injured in flying accidents that might have been avoided. After the attack on Pearl Harbour, the United States entered the war and the Eighth Airforce was formed in England. This lead to the transfer of the Eagle pilots to the United States Army Air Force.
