The Eagle Squadrons were three fighter squadrons of the Royal Air Force (RAF) formed with volunteer pilots from the United States during the early days of World War II (circa 1940), prior to America's entry into the war in December 1941. With the United States still neutral, many Americans simply crossed the border and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) to learn to fly and fight. Many early recruits had originally gone to Europe to fight for Finland against the Soviet Union in the Winter War.

  • Les Eagle Squadrons (« escadrilles des aigles ») sont trois escadrilles d'avions de chasse de la Royal Air Force formées vers 1940 pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec des pilotes américains volontaires, avant l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis en décembre 1941. Elle est dans l'esprit à l'image de l'escadrille La Fayette lors de la Première Guerre mondiale ou l'escadrille de Tigres volants durant la guerre sino-japonaise. Charles Sweeney, un homme d'affaires basé à Londres, a notamment participé à l'effort de recrutement pour ces escadrilles. (fr)
