Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-180) and index.
Compelling and personal recollections from the {u2018}Tail-end Charlies{u2019} of the British, American, Canadian and Australian air forces provide ample evidence of the air gunner{u2019}s skill, courage and determination when faced with enemy aircraft attack during World War II. These are the pilots who flew with less than a one-in-three chance of survival. The origins, developments and techniques of air gunnery are discussed in detail in this marvellous book which evokes the poignancy, tragedy and human reality of the strategic bomber offensive of World War II."
