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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9.1 x 5.92 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 25, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42132856111239,"sku":"9780595206384","price":22.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/be771ed162504754c6b9fef405f0d92f.webp?v=1732629978","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/ben-drew-the-katzenjammer-ace-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
