Synopsis
This is the story of tbe brief but accomplished life of US Army Air Forces fighter ace Gerald Johnson (1920-1945). Flying the powerful P-38 and possessing lethal shooting skill, Johnson shot down 24 Japanese aircraft in 265 combat missions during 36 months in the Pacific theatre. At the age of 24 he commanded the highest-scoring fighter group in the Pacific, the 49th. With Dick Bong and Tommy McGuire, he formed an early triumvirate of 5th Air Force aces. A fellow pilot later called him the Luke Skywalker of my generation.

    Book 1 of 3. I ordered 3 books from this seller. The books were shipped quickly, well packaged and secure. They arrived just as described, in great condition. Great books for a great price to add to my Philosophy collection. As I ordered 3 books to the same place, I contacted the seller, requesting a group shipping fee. The seller responded quickly, offering me a partial refund for the excess shipping. Would absolutely buy from this seller again!

    I went in to cancel my order because I was not going to receive it in time. The seller messaged me and said they were mailing out today and they would do her best to get it to me by the desired date if i wanted to keep my order. I really wanted the product so i said yes! They did get it to me and everything was actually as pictured. I would definitely order from the person again! Awesome customer service!
