The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) is a world-wide motorcycle club for Harley-Davidson riders only. In the United States, the Hells Angels are incorporated as the Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation.Formed in 1948 in Fontana, California, the name "Hells Angels" was a copycat of the name of the U.S. Air Force 303rd Bombardment Groups in the early years of World War II. The name originally referred to a B-17F Bomber, but in 1944 the plane was dismantled and the Bombardment group voted to keep the name "Hell's Angels". This name was taken by the 303rd from a 1930 film called Hell's Angels directed by Howard Hughes about two World War I pilots. After the war, the motorcycle club in Fontana, California, was approached by Arvid Olsen of the Flying Tigers squadron from the 303rd Group.
