{"product_id":"9781472800640","title":"P-40 Warhawk Aces of the MTO","description":"Thrown into action following the Torch landings of late 1942, the 'green' American pilots flying the obsolescent P-40F suffered cruelly at the hands of seasoned German fighter pilots flying superior machines. Those that survived learnt quickly, and a handful of Warhawk pilots succeeded in making ace by the time the Axis forces surrendered in North Africa. The action then shifted to Sicily and Italy, and the P-40 remained in service until mid-1944. This book charts the careers of the 23 men who succeeded in making ace during that time, despite the advent of much better P-47 and P-51 fighters.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165432529136,"sku":"9781472800640","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472800640_p0.jpg?v=1763598755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472800640","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
