{"product_id":"fighter-boys-the-battle-of-britain-1940-9780142004661","title":"Fighter Boys: The Battle of Britain, 1940","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Bishop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 6.48w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142004661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick 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.
