Yes, it has many interesting stories, some of which relate to the AH experience. For example, he relates that the JUG will outzoom anything, but not outclimb the spit IX. With the late (late 43) war prop, it would outclimb the spit IX though.
One of the stories was very illuminating: He was flying tail-end charley and as a result of a series of errors, he had a FW 190 open up on him with resulting serious damage. He dove away (shot to crap) and was flying home when one of the FWs found him again.
The FW pilot flew along beside him, gave a mock salute, repositioned himself and opened up at point blank range. Johnson was all scrunched up in front of the seat's armor plating. Evidently, the FW only had 30 cal left. The FW pilot kept moving back and forth trying to understand why the JUG continued to fly. The FW pilot repeated the manuever 3 or 4 times and was never able to bring the JUG down.
Not that it's important so far as AH's is concerned, but has anyone been able to bring a jug down with 308/30/12.6mm only? Just curious.
