{"product_id":"fighter-boys-isbn-9780142004661","title":"Fighter Boys","description":"For 123 days in the summer of 1940, 3,000 youthful airmen in the Royal Air Force fought back against Hitler’s advancing forces with a  heroism that astonished the world. 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.Patrick Bishop, associate editor at the \u003cb\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/b\u003e (London), is the originator of the television series \u003cb\u003eThe Irish Empire\u003c\/b\u003e and the author of the highly acclaimed book \u003cb\u003eThe Provisional IRA\u003c\/b\u003e. A foreign correspondent who covered the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans, Bishop has also written books about the Falklands conflict and the Gulf War.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303280333029,"sku":"NP9780142004661","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780142004661.jpg?v=1767726855","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/fighter-boys-isbn-9780142004661","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
