This biography of the group has been taken from day by day flight orders and reports, including personal reminiscences by surviving members, illustrated with over 300 photos, including color shots, and supplemented by statistical and technical information.   The 4th Fighter Group was as the Debden Eagles because it was created from the three Eagle Squadrons  of the Royal Air Force: No 71, No 121 Squadron RAF, and No.133 Squadon RAF. ^] These squadrons became the 334th, 335 th, and 336th Fighter Squadrons  of the 4th Fighter Group based at RAF Debben. The group was the first fighter group to fly combat missions over German airspace, the first to escort bombers over Berlin, and the first selected to escort bombers on shuttle bombing runs landing in Russia. The group was credited with shooting down 1,016 German planes.
