Tail-End Charlies by John Nichol
Night after night they stifled their fears and flew through flak to drop the bombs that could demolish the Third Reich. The airmen of American and British Bomber Command were among the greatest heroes of WWII, taking the battle to the German homeland when no one else would. Especially vulnerable were the Tail-end Charlies a term that meant two things: the gunners who flew missions in a plexiglass bubble at the back of the bomber, and the last bomber in the formation who ended up flying through the most hell. Tail End Charlies tells the astonishing story of the battles in the skies over Germany through the eyes of the heroes who fought them.
