{"product_id":"9781472802064","title":"479th Fighter Group: 'Riddle's Raiders'","description":"Formed in October 1943, the 479th FG claimed an  impressive history against the Luftwaffe during the final year of the  war. Originally flying P-38s, the 479th’s pilots had a fierce pride of  arms. They earned a Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation in the late  summer of 1944 and were also credited with the USAAF’s first German jet  kill in July 1944.  Eventually transitioning to the P-51D in September  1944, the 479th excelled with the Mustang. The 479th FG was credited  with scoring the last aerial victory claimed by the Eighth Air Force’s  VIII Fighter Command, on 25 April 1945. By VE-Day, 29 pilots flying in  the group had earned “ace” status.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156800946416,"sku":"9781472802064","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472802064_p0.jpg?v=1769892794","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472802064","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
