"'A Time of Eagles' is a historical document.one that pays tribute to one of the most tumultuous but exciting times in the chronicles of aerial combat. It began in the spring of 1940 after the armies of France were defeated by Germany at the Battle of Dunkirk. Britain had lost her strongest ally in the war, and she and her commonwealth nations stood alone against the German war machine.

"During these dark months, a small group of American pilots joined Britain in the fight against Germany's seemingly invincible Luftwaffe. These 244 brave aviators flew the most maneuverable plane of the time- the Spitfire - with the elite Eagle Squadron of the RAF." - William Phillips
