Thunderbolt! - Extraordinary Story of a WWII Ace

Thunderbolt! The Extraordinary Story of a World War II Ace is the incredible true-life story of Robert S. Johnson, one of America's leading fighter pilot aces in World War II. His memoir is an action-packed account of how a young man from Lawton, Oklahoma went on to amass 28 enemy kills, the first U. S. Army Air Force pilot in the European theater to surpass Eddie Rickenbacker's World War I tally of 26 enemy planes destroyed. Johnson's detailed, vivid descriptions of his close-scrapes with Goering's elite fighters makes Thunderbolt! essential reading for World War 2 buffs.
