"Nicaraguan strongman General Anastasio Somoza is making room for the modern jets sent down by his Cold War ally, the United States. Will Martin, a 34-year old Chicagoan, has just been through the humiliating collapse of a family business and is looking to make a fresh start. So I bought an Air Force is the wild but true tale of how Martin buys the Nicaraguan Air Force's fleet of P-51 Mustangs, F-47 Thunderbolts, and C-45 Expeditors and his struggles to get his planes back to the U.S."--Page 4 of cover.
