Download the Autumn 1943 issue of THE FLYING JET.  An adventure story by Canfield Cook about Bob Terrell, American volunteer in the RAF during WWII.  This 200 page story occurs near the end of the war.  Bob's squadron uses the new hybrid fighter-bomber that has both propellor and jet engines.  Shooting down German buzz bombs is a lot more practical with the new faster jet plane.  A great read.  Free download for Subscribers.
