There have been several books published about the wartime experiences of individual air gunners but there is no general history of Air Gunners, their equipment, training or service in the various RAF Commands in which they served. This book explains in great detail how and why the trade of air gunner was developed at the outset of World War II. Chapters include the history of the guns and turrets, the famous gunners, outstanding bravery during major raids, flying with Coastal Command, Bomber Command and overseas operations. It also includes the history of Air Gunners who became prisoners of war, outstanding bravery awards and American air gunners such as Clark Gable, John Huston and Charlton Heston. It includes many first-hand accounts of wartime combat as seen from the gun turret in the heat of battle. Air Gunners, tail-end Charleys in particular, have always been popular wartime heroes as they flew in their isolated positions protecting their aircraft from enemy fighter attack in the skies over war torn Europe.

When William 'Bill' Goodman died in 2002 little did his daughters know the extent of the memoirs he had been writing in the few years before his death. Bill's life, from joining the RAF in 1941 at the age of 18 to his demob in 1948, was fraught with adventure. He describes his service with 7 Squadron at Oakington; he then highlights the terrifying events of the night their Stirling was shot down over Holland, his subsequent incarceration at Stalag Luft 3, periods in other camps and, finally, the long debilitating march back home. All this with fascinating commentary, vivid description and the intimacy of his experience. The reader will meet his fellow airmen and POWs, the man who shot down their Stirling on that eventful night, the heroes of the Dutch resistance and, surprisingly, a kindly and caring guard in Stalag Luft 3! A fascinating first-hand account of a young man's wartime experience.

Air Gunners is a tale of the life and loves of two men. One from the Irish Free State, the other from New Jersey in the USA who are thrown together during the mad days of World War II. Tim O'Leary meets up with Hal Grainger at an RAF aircrew training centre in Yorkshire, England while training to become air gunners. While they're still in training the Lancaster Bomber they're undergoing training in comes under attack by two Messerschmitt 110 hit and run raiders. They manage to shoot down both of their attackers resulting in both of them ending up being recommended for the Distinguished Flying Medal. Once they finish their training they move on to an Operational Training Unit where they 'crew up' and undergo further training before moving on to an Operational Squadron. Having become firm friends during their time in training they form a deadly partnership as the rear and mid-upper gunners of a Lancaster Bomber crew that by wars end they end up being credited with over 55 'kills' between them.

Air Gunner is a lighthearted, yet poignant story of one man and many of his colleagues who shared the honor and tragedies of wartime flying. There has been very little written about the experiences of an air gunner in the Royal Air Force during World War II, but this could easily be the story of thousands of young gunners many of whom never returned home to tell their tale.
