Eagle Squadrons Memorial, War memorial in Grosvenor Square, City of Westminster, United Kingdom
The memorial features a bronze eagle sculpture atop a white Portland stone obelisk reaching 4.6 meters in height at Grosvenor Square.
The monument commemorates 244 American and 16 British fighter pilots who served in three Royal Air Force Eagle Squadrons from 1940 to 1942.
The memorial showcases Elisabeth Frink's artistic interpretation through a bronze eagle with white-painted head representing the American national symbol.
Located near the former US Embassy building, the Grade II listed memorial displays detailed inscriptions of squadron members on each side of its column.
The monument records the names of 71 pilots who lost their lives during service, with each squadron's crest and motto engraved on separate faces.
