Download or read book Yanks in the RAF written by David Alan Johnson and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of American volunteer pilots who risked their lives in defense of Britain during the earliest days of World War II—more than a year before Pearl Harbor, when the United States first became embroiled in the global conflict. Based on interviews, diaries, personal documents, and research in British, American, and German archives, the author has created a colorful portrait of this small group who were our nation’s first combatants in World War II. As the author’s research shows, their motives were various: some were idealistic; others were simply restless and looking for adventure. And though the British air force needed pilots, cultural conflicts between the raw American recruits and their reserved British commanders soon became evident. Prejudices on both sides and lack of communication had to be overcome. Eventually, the American pilots were assembled into three squadrons known as the Eagle squadrons. They saw action and suffered casualties in both England and France, notably in the attack on Dieppe. By September 1942, after America had entered the war, these now experienced pilots were transferred to the US air force, bringing their expertise and their British Spitfires with them. As much social as military history, Yanks in the RAF sheds new light on a little-known chapter of World War II and the earliest days of the sometimes fractious British-American alliance.

Download or read book The Battle of Britain A Yank in the RAF and Other American Friends of England written by Sid Rich and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAVING CONQUERED POLAND, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France, Adolph Hitler turned his attention to the British. Operation Sea Lion was the code name for Hitler s plan to invade England. To have any chance of success, however, the operation would require air supremacy. While America clung to neutrality, American Wedge Madison, who had flown against the Germans in the Spanish Revolution, went to England and joined the RAF. Great Britain was also fortunate to have CBS newsman Edward Murrow, Lend-Lease Director Averill Harriman, and new US Ambassador Gil Winant ardent friends and supporters who continued to keep the pressure on President Roosevelt to supply the weapons of war to help them survive. Fighter Command was so successful that the conclusion to Churchill s famous Battle of Britain speech made in the House of Commons concluded with: if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour. This is the story of a particular time in history; the people, the circumstances, and one of the most pivotal events of World War II. Educated at the University of Texas, Sid Rich has been an executive with an insurance company, a trade association manager, a company president, chairman-of-the-board a corporation, a consultant in the long-term care field, and a registered Texas lobbyist. He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Marlene.

Download or read book When Hollywood Loved Britain written by Mark Glancy and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hollywood Loved Britain examines the Hollywood "British" film--American feature films that were set in Britain, based on British history or literature and included the work of British producers, directors, writers and actors. "British" films include many of the most popular and memorable films of the 1930s and 1940s, yet they have received little individual attention from film historians and even less attention as a body of films. While the book is centered on wartime "British" films, it also investigates wider issues: the influence of censorship and propaganda agencies during Hollywood’s studio era, studio finances, the isolationist campaign in the United States between 1939 and 1941, and American perceptions of Britain at war.
