Drawing on interviews with scores of surviving pilots as well as diaries and letters never before seen, military historian and journalist Patrick Bishop re-creates with astonishing intimacy and clarity this excruciating, exhilarating war of nerves. In their own words, the pilots describe what it was like to bale out from a stricken plane, to go into battle in the face of overwhelming odds, to hear the screams of a comrade as he went down in flames. With a riveting, taut narrative, \u003cb\u003eFighter Boys\u003c\/b\u003e relates how those young heroes changed the course of World War II—and the history of the modern world.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380244087039,"sku":"9780142004661","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780142004661_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307656","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780142004661","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
