このコンテンツについて
You don’t know much about the Korean War. You know even less about the air war over Korea. You know nothing about the B-29 in the Korean War. And what you’ve been told is mostly wrong. The truth has been buried for years. This book tells it straight – no spin.
Gunners! B-29 Gunners in the Korean War, gives voice to ten ordinary men who rose to extraordinary accomplishments, then came home to lead ordinary lives. Time is catching up with the “Silent Generation.” Now in their 90s, these veterans carry the final echoes of a defining chapter in history. This powerful collection offers a rare, intimate look before their stories fade from living memory.
Their journey did not end in the skies over the Korean peninsula. These Veterans still carry invisible burdens, unseen wounds that linger long after the uniform is folded away. America needs their quiet strength now more than ever.
Gunners! authoritatively documents their inspirational war stories with:
•Official data showing that B-29 gunners destroyed 1-1/2 times more MiG-15s than did communist fighter jets over US bombers.
•A plain language description of the complex remote control turret system that employed the first electronic computers used in combat.
•How Air Force Prisoners of War outsmarted their captors despite communist torture, starvation and indoctrination.
So, get two copies. Listen to the Audiobook version for yourself. Then give a paperback copy away to a veteran to thank them, their friends and family, for their service.
If you don’t know a Korean War veteran, go seek and befriend one. You’ll find them in a local Korean War Veterans Association Chapter, American Legion Post, assisted living or skilled nursing facility, and will welcome your fellowship. Their families and friends will be grateful and encouraged.
