Overview
THUNDERBOLT! is the story of many, a plane, and a fighter group in the deadly war over Europe in World War II. When Robert S. Johnson returned from the European theater in 1944 he was the highest scoring American Ace of the war, with 28 confirmed kills against the fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe. The plane he flew was the Republic P-47C Thunderbolt, a rugged 2,000 horsepower fighter that weighed seven tons. British pilots told Johnson that a "Jug" wouldn't stand a chance against the maneuverable German ME-109 and the Focke Wulf 190! But in the hands of aces like Johnson and Gareski, the Thunderbolt proved itself the most deadly fighter plane of the war. At the end of hostilities, Johnson and his comrades had shot down more German planes than any other fighter group in the E.T.O. During two years of fighting, they lost 128 Thunderbolts in combat, but they destroyed 1.006 German aircraft - a ration of eight to one against the toughest opposition American pilots have ever met! Reviewed as "the best fighter pilot of WWII! 308 pages, 17 photos, 6" x 9". Signed copies available - $50.00.
