Description
Tail Gunner by R C Rivaz is a gripping account of one man's experiences as a tail gunner in RAF Bomber Command during World War II. Written just months after the events described, this unique and immediate perspective offers a harrowing insight into some of the most intense episodes of the war. Rivaz recounts his involvement in night bombing attacks against heavily defended enemy targets, including Duisburg, Dusseldorf and Essen, as well as his experiences of daylight dogfights with German fighters over La Rochelle. He also describes two agonizing crashes over the sea, one of which left him waiting for seven hours in a rubber dinghy, battered by stormy weather. This book provides a captivating and detailed account of Rivaz's time as a tail gunner, offering a fresh and honest perspective on some of the most harrowing episodes of the war.
