{"product_id":"9781483606620","title":"The Painted Lady","description":"My name is Painted Lady. I am a B17F flying fortress, straight from the factory in Seattle.\u003cbr\u003e  My life started on an assembly line with impact wrenches, screwdrivers, drilling, and soldering.\u003cbr\u003e  Most of the people working on me were women.\u003cbr\u003e  All the eligible men were going into the military.\u003cbr\u003e  Oh, there were some men around but not a lot. I remember one day they were putting my nose section on.\u003cbr\u003e After, my wings, fuselage, and landing gear were intact.\u003cbr\u003e  Then I got my chance to fly. It was just around the airfield, but what a feeling. Then I sat there waiting for something to happen. \u003cbr\u003e On a bright sun shining day, several of us B17s were lined up, and two women climbed on board and did pre-flight.\u003cbr\u003e  Then we took off and went to Saint Louis, then on to Dover Delaware, where I was gassed up and looked over, the same two ladies got on board again and we took off for where I don’t know. But this starts my story. \u003cbr\u003e Sit back and journey with me through my trials and tribulations as we embark on my adventure.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130269516016,"sku":"9781483606620","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483606620_p0.jpg?v=1763631235","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483606620","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
