Drawing on interviews with scores of surviving pilots as well as diaries and letters never before seen, military historian and journalist Patrick Bishop re-creates with astonishing intimacy and clarity this excruciating, exhilarating war of nerves. In their own words, the pilots describe what it was like to bale out from a stricken plane, to go into battle in the face of overwhelming odds, to hear the screams of a comrade as he went down in flames. With a riveting, taut narrative, \u003cb\u003eFighter Boys\u003c\/b\u003e relates how those young heroes changed the course of World War II--and the history of the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Bishop, associate editor at the \u003cb\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/b\u003e (London), is the originator of the television series \u003cb\u003eThe Irish Empire\u003c\/b\u003e and the author of the highly acclaimed book \u003cb\u003eThe Provisional IRA\u003c\/b\u003e.
