They called themselves the "Hell's Angels

From what i've read,this is where the MC "hells Angels" got their name.I don't know how true it is;I read this in Sonny Barger's bio.Apparently many motorcycle clubs sprang up after WWII and particularly the Vietman era;some good,others bad. (No disrespect meant to the memories and condolences regarding a fallen and found hero.It just reminded me of the bikers when I read that one little snippet in this story.)

Actually the MC Hell’s Angels’ are supposed to have taken their name from the Hell’s Angel’s squadron within the AVG or Flying Tigers. Some of their early members were in fact discharged wartime pilots. Got this while studying gangs during my assignment to our Gang Operations Unit.
