{"product_id":"9781612340869","title":"Jungle Ace: The Story of One of the USAAF's Great Fighter Leaders, Col. Gerald R. Johnson","description":"The brief but accomplished life of Army Air Forces fighter ace Gerald Johnson (1920-45) is the subject of John Bruning's latest book. During three years in the Pacific theater, Johnson shot down twenty-four Japanese aircraft in 265 combat missions. At the age of twenty-four, he commanded the highest-scoring fighter group in the Pacific, the 49th. Tragically, though Johnson had survived three combat tours, which included a mid-air collision with a Japanese aircraft and being shot down by friendly fire, he disappeared while flying a courier mission one month after the war's end. At the time he was one of the USAAF's youngest full colonels.","brand":"Potomac Books Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113384362224,"sku":"9781612340869","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612340869_p0.jpg?v=1763842158","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612340869","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
