What is the 3rd Pursuit Squadron?

 This squadron of the Commemorative Air Force is named in honor of the unit in which our friend and former charter member, Erik Shilling, served in the American Volunteer Group (The Flying Tigers) during the period of  WW II.  These heroic volunteers flew P-40's  in the China theater against the Japanese.  This unit is dedicated to memorializing and celebrating the feats of these famous aviators.  Much more detail can be learned about the AVG from their website, www.flyingtigersavg.com.

 Our friend and former member, Erik Shilling was a member of the 3rd Pursuit Squadron,  "The Hell's Angels"  and our unit is named in honor of this squadron.  As with all units of the CAF, we are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of WW II era aircraft.  This includes showing these aircraft to the public by having regular airshows, displays and museums  that explain and remind the free world of the important part these airplanes, pilots and crews played in maintaining our freedom.
