Eagle Squadron Scramble
This remarkable Robert Taylor aviation print commemorates the approximately 240 American volunteers who traveled overseas to serve with the Royal Air Force during Britain's desperate struggle against the Luftwaffe, before the United States entered World War II.
In tribute to the first American volunteer fighter squadron, No. 71 Eagle Squadron, Robert Taylor depicts a dramatic scramble of Mk Vb Spitfires preparing to take to the skies in defense of Britain.
These courageous American volunteers became known as the Eagle Squadrons and played an important role in the RAF's early wartime efforts. Their story represents a unique chapter in aviation and military history.
