Hess, William N.
P-47 THUNDERBOLT AT WAR.
1977 1st Profusely illustrated. Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, 1977. First edition. ISBN 038512886X. Built in larger numbers than any other American fighter in World War II, the P-47 Thunderbolt was a durable single-seat warplane that was among the fastest Allied propeller-driven fighters to see combat and, with it's deadly "point-fifty" machine guns, among the most lethal fighters in the allied arsenal. Inscribed by legendary P-47 pilot Walker M. "Bud" Mahurin adjacent to his photos on p.56 and 93. A veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, Colonel Mahurin is the ninth ranking U.S. ace from all wars with 24.25 victories, 20.75 of which came while serving with Hub Zemke's legendary "Wolf Pack," the most successful Allied fighter group in the European Theater of World War II. A bit of wear to the spine ends, with a strip of light sunning along the bottom of the front board. Jacket moderately shelfworn, with some shallow chipping to the spine ends and corners, and a two-inch tear to the top of the front panel that is repaired with tape on the recto; otherwise a very good copy.
