Eagle Squadron Monument

This memorial is to the memory of the 244 American and 16 British fighter pilots and other personnel who served in the three Royal Air Force Eagle Squadrons prior to the participation of the United States of America in the Second World War.

The Eagle Squadron Monument commemorates the American and British pilots who served in the three Royal Air Force Eagle Squadrons during World War II, before the United States officially entered the war. It is important as a symbol of the early transatlantic cooperation in the fight against Nazi Germany and honors those who laid the groundwork for the later Allied air forces.
