{"product_id":"9781475932171","title":"Operation Black Eagle: U-501 Undergoing Sea Trials, 1939","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is September, 1940, and the Battle of Britain is not going well for the Germans. The RAF Spitfire, powered with a high performance carburetor made with platinum parts, is outperforming the Messerschmitt. Gold and platinum, smuggled out of the Andes in 1939 by a German elite force, lies at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea off Margarita Island. Retrieval of this strategic ore will allow the Germans to refit their fighters with a new ignition system and reverse their declining fortunes. Adolph Hitler himself authorizes a mission, code named Black Eagle, to recover the sunken gold and platinum from the sea bottom and return it to Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the aid of the IRA and an Irish marine recovery vessel and specialists, the German mission, comprising an armed tender and two U-boats, play a game of “blind man’s bluff” with British and American forces, the Germans intent on recovering the sunken cargo, the Allies intent on stopping it.  Professor Jack Ford, a group of British commandoes and a patched-together Allied naval force of subs and surface craft are all that stand in the way of a successful German mission. The challenge on both sides is filled with twists of events making it uncertain who to trust and which way to turn.  Anything is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141723537648,"sku":"9781475932171","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475932171_p0.jpg?v=1763607199","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475932171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
