About the Eagle Squadrons

Eagle Squadrons occupy a unique place in aviation and military history.

Before the United States entered World War II, hundreds of American volunteers traveled to Great Britain to join the Royal Air Force and fight against Nazi Germany. These men became known as the Eagle Squadron pilots and flew combat missions during some of the most critical phases of the air war over Europe.

Following America's entry into the war, many Eagle Squadron veterans transferred into the United States Army Air Forces and continued distinguished combat careers.

Notable Signers

This impressive grouping includes several highly respected aviation figures:

• Donald Blakeslee — One of the most accomplished American fighter leaders of World War II and a celebrated Eagle Squadron veteran.

• Steve Pisanos — Distinguished combat pilot whose remarkable journey from immigrant to fighter ace remains one of the most fascinating stories of the war.

• Carroll McColpin — Better known as "Red" McColpin, a respected combat aviator and military leader.

Together, these signatures preserve the legacy of a remarkable group of volunteers who chose to fight before their nation officially entered the conflict.

Historical Significance

The Eagle Squadrons symbolize courage, commitment, and international cooperation during one of history's darkest periods.

These American volunteers risked their lives defending Great Britain before the United States entered the war, making their service unique among Allied military organizations.

Their contributions helped pave the way for the close military partnership that would ultimately lead to Allied victory.
