EAGLES OVER EAST ANGLIA

摘要

The sun finally made an appearance in the UK on May 26, and more than 17,000 people ventured out to a hot and hectic IWM Duxford to enjoy the Spring Airshow. The star display act was the Eagle Squadron, a unique four-ship of fighters specially formed to tell the story of American service in World War Two. (See Airshow on page 88.) The Eagle Squadron aircraft are Hawker Hurricane AE977 (painted as P3886), Supermarine Spitfire AR213 (as P7308), Republic P-47G Thunderbolt SNAFU and North American P-51C Mustang Princess Elizabeth.
