Americans in the Royal Air Force
3 July 2009 - 31 December 2009
With Independence Day in the US just around the corner we thought that our American cousins and British fans of all things from 'across the pond' might be interested to learn that the Museum launched today a new online exhibition 'Americans in the Royal Air Force'.
This exhibition explores the contribution that the Eagle Squadrons, the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary) and Billy Fiske,amongst others, made to the defence of Britain during World War II.
As part of the exhibition the Museum invites its online visitors to narrate any stories that they may have about Americans who served in the RAF and from any Americans who have served in and worked alongside members of the RAF.
