hells angels berdoo history

On March 17th 1948 the first Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was founded in the Fontana/San Bernardino area in the United States of America. On January 7th 1944, by a vote of group and squadron commanders, “Hells Angels” became the name of the 303rd with “Might in Flight” being retained as the Group motto.Facts which have been undeniably proven show that the 303rd “Hell’s Angels” B-17F was only flown by highly dedicated, motivated and mission oriented airmen. Bissell had been a long time adversary of Chennault and the Flying Tigers.

Chennault, who had accepted return to active military service, immediately prior to deactivation of the AVG, at the rank of Brigadier General continued to command the 14th Air Force in the China Burma Theater (CBT). Even today Shilling and Bond claim first for idea and application of the Tiger Shark paint job on the P-40’Each of the squadrons, now with an approved name, designed their respective squadron insignia. Yet the colors of red on white were the standard for the entire squadron.

Today there are more than 275 charters in Europe alone. Today Hells Angels MC World has charters in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia. About the same time, other clubs were formed in various places in the state of California, but none of these clubs were associated with Hells Angels nor with each other. On March 17th, 1948 the first Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was founded in the Fontana/San Bernardino area in the United States of America. “Hells Angels” continued to fly combat missions until December 13th 1943. The AVG received 100 P-40 fighter aircraft. The First Pursuit Squadron (1PS) became the “Adam & Eve’s”. When she completed 48 combat missions it was retired from combat. If the Hells Angels' own website is to be believed, the received suggestion is unfounded that the former troops to join the club included misfits and malcontents.

It happened when the first charter outside California was adopted – strangely enough, as far away as Auckland, New Zealand. Of note was the fact that at no time did the AVG possessed more than 100 aircraft in their unit. Most of them do not exist today, but the Berdoo charter (San Bernadino) still do.During the fifties more Hells Angels Charters came into existence. That reflects an AVG to Japanese kill ratio of 50 to 1, a record that has never been equaled.

Today Hells Angels MC World has charters in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia.

When the two took the idea to Chennault he wanted the entire Group to adopt the motif.

The 303rd was the first 8th Air Force Bomb Group to complete 25, 50, 75, 200 and 300 combat missions.Available historical information from HAMC Berdoo and extensive research by the 303rd reveals that no lineage exists between the HAMC and the 303rd other than both organizations having the same name. Chennault reviewed official Japanese war records, after the war. The website also notes that the name was first suggested by an associate of the founders named Arvid Olse… In 1993, Hells Angels came to the African continent with a charter in Johannesberg, South Afica.
