Description

The BOTTISHAM FOUR Mustangs of the 375th Fighter Squadron over England in July, 1944. Each of these aircraft has a story, as do their pilots. This book is about airplanes and men-Colonel Christian the commander of the 361st Fighter Group (in Lou IV) who disappeared after strafing a railroad yard; Lieutenant McCandliss who fought German jets and became a POW; the Katzenjammer Kids: Bill Kemp, a six plane ace who took on forty Luftwaffe fighters in E2S, and Ben Drew (in E2S), a six plane ace who had his toughest fight in "Suzy G", was the first to shoot down two Me 262s and sank the world's largest airplane; and Georg-Peter Eder, Luftwaffe ace who shot down more heavy bombers and had more victories flying the Me 262 than any man in history.

Author Biography:

R.R. "Boom" Powell was a career U.S.Navy officer who flew from carrier decks for sixteen years before starting to write about aviation. His thirty-seven years as a pilot and especially his combat experience, give this biography of a fighter ace an immediacy and familiarity not found in ordinary histories. Powell has written for several magazines and has a novel with the same setting as the Drew saga in work as well as a Great War flying tale. He flies Boeing 747 freighters for an international airline when he is not writing or soaring in his Libelle.
