Description

This is a unique and personal account of life as an aerial gunner in World War II. The story follows an ordinary cook who makes an extraordinary decision to leave his kitchen role and join the Army Air Corps, becoming a tail gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress.

With humor and humility, the author recounts his experiences fighting for his country amidst the unfriendly skies of Europe from 1943 to 1945. The book is a heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking tale that will resonate with those who were there, as well as their families.

A fascinating glimpse into a little-known aspect of war history, this memoir offers a fresh perspective on one man's journey during World War II.
