Today in History

[RAF74_Drummer]

Today is the 67th Anniversry of the Official Cermony that transferred the 3 Eagle Squadrons to the USAAF, becoming the newly formed 4th Fighter Group. 29 September 1942. The only fighter group to be activated outside the Continental United States.

Salute

Besides the Eagle Squadrons who flew for the RAF, there were also hundreds of Americans who had enlisted in the RAF or RCAF and who continued to fly with those organisations until the end of the war, including some high scoring Aces. Big contribution.
