Story of the first Me-262 which was shot down by a P-51

Book Description
Urban "Ben" Drew was a Mustang pilot in the 375th Squadron of the 361st Fighter Group of the Eighth Air Force. He was the first to shoot down two of the Luftwaffe's "jet wonder weapon", the Messerschmitt 262, and finished the war as a six plane ace. His tales of air combat over Europe are exciting reading. 

This book is far more than a biography of Ben Drew. Powell has worked in details, anecdotes, and the stories of people around Drew,  to make readers feel that they were there. Colonel Christian, Bob McCandliss, Martin Johnson, and the other "Katzenjammer Kid", Bill Kemp, all flew with Drew and shared in the dangers of aerial combat. Their stories are all part of this book. 

 Georg-Peter Eder flew the Me262 and was one of the Luftwaffe's top aces. He specialized in attacking American bombers and shot  down more of them than anyone. The coincidences that brought two enemies together after Drew was given a medal forty years late, are  intriguing and lead to a last chapter which is as surprising as it is moving. 

From the Back Cover
The BOTTISHAM FOUR Mustangs of the 375th Fighter Squadron over England in July, 1944. Each of these aircraft has a story, as do their pilots. This book is about airplanes and men - Colonel Christian the commander of the 461st Fighter Group (in Lou IV) who  disappeared after strafing a railroad yard; Lieutenant McCandliss who fought German jets and became a POW; the Katzenjammer Kids: Bill Kemp, a six plane ace who took on forty Luftwaffe fighters in E2S, and Ben Drew (in E2S), a six plane ace who had his  toughest fight in "Suzy G", was the first to shoot down two Me262s and sank the world's largest airplane; and Georg-Peter Eder,  Luftwaffe ace who shot down more heavy bombers and had more victories flying the Me262 than any man in history. 

About the Author
R.R. "Boom" Powell was a career U.S. Navy officer who flew from carrier decks for sixteen years before starting to write about  aviation. His thirty-seven years as a pilot and especially his combat experience, give this biography of a fighter ace an immediacy and  familiarity not found in ordinary histories. Powell has written for several magazines and has a novel with the same setting as the Drew  saga in work as well as a Great War flying tale. He flies Boeing 747 freighters for an international airline when he is not writing or soaring  in his Libelle.
