All-in-all I enjoyed reading the bookBy Carl JordanThe author constantly names a "second pilot" as part of each of the flight crews who took part in his missions. But; unlike the case with American bombers; all of the British bombers of that period only had ONE pilot on board and only ONE set of flight controls. There was a space in the cockpit alongside that of the pilot. But; it was occupied by an airborne mechanic called a "flight engineer." He was NOT a pilot. Unlike the Americans; the British did not have enough manpower to provide two pilots in each bomber. They struggled just to provide one pilot per bomber. The flight engineer had no flight controls on his side of the cockpit; and was not qualified to fly the plane. However; until reading this book; I wasn't aware that the British had officers who flew as gunners on their bombers. Especially when it was flown by a sergeant. Apparently; it presented no problems for them. It would be interesting to read whether or not they met with success when raiding the Scharnhorst and other German ships.All-in-all I enjoyed reading the book. As a former USAF fighter pilot; I have to say; "Well done!"7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. No Beginning; No Personal Information; No End. A Diary FragmentBy D. HarmonThe book is disappointingly incomplete. No real start; middle or end. It is a fragment of a combat diary. It begins; disappointingly; with the tail gunner reporting to his bomber squadron for combat flying duty. No mention of the gunner's military training; nor who he was before that in civilian life. Then follows some exciting accounts of several terrifying missions; but no personal information about the tail gunner or his family. Was he an officer? Or an NCO? A military book; but nothing personal about him.At the end - if one can call it that - of the book; the tail gunner and his crew are shot down after a terrifying mission; but rescued from the sea; to their relief. Then what? Nothing. We don't know - that's all you get. It is as though the last hundred pages were simply deleted.What happened? Did the tail gunner then die in a later air battle? Or did he survive the war to have a family and a career? The book ends abruptly with none of that. The effect is of a combat diary covering a few months of his combat tour. Or was it more like a year? If so; what year? I guess we will never know. The book looked promising; but was a disappointment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. FLYING ABOVE 10;000 FEET OXYGEN LOSS!By charles storieI really enjoyed this book; I've worked military aircraft for 40+ years. I know that these early aircraft were not presserized.To be able to fly on FCFS flights you had to go to the altitude pressure chamber. Very interesting; they pick a volunteer; that will take off his oxygen supply above 20;000 ft. Gave him a ball with many different shaped holes; and the parts to put back in. He started putting those back in did well for a while. Then just froze; the instructor put his mask back on ;he started putting the pieces back in; never knew what had took place.When flying on commercial aircraft and the flight attendent; is telling about the oxygen system and how to do it; realize how important that is; in the event of a sudden cabin depression event.I thought that was interesting point in the book; for aircraft from WWII.
