Combat Gunner
Author: Pete Larsen
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1456742493

Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Between 1965 and 1973 Strategic Air Command B-52 gunners flew an unprecedented number of combat hours in the Vietnam War. Gunners with three and four hundred missions were not uncommon. Most did their job with bravery and uncommon valor during a time when arrays of SAM missiles were being launched at them from sites in North Vietnam. At times some of them got a little rowdy, and their antics often surprised and perplexed the zeroes, the officers they flew with. This exciting and sometimes hilarious story about them closely resembles the truth.

A Machine Gunner's War
Author: Ernest Albert Andrews
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1636241050
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
A machine gunner chronicles his time on the frontlines of WW2 from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and the Wehrmacht’s last stand. American machine gunner Ernest “Andy” Andrews arrived in the UK just before deploying to fight in D-Day. Struck by a bullet in Normandy, he was evacuated to England before returning to participate in the race across France. Andy’s squad defended a bunker in the Siegfried Line and fought its way through the Hurtgen Forest to take Hill 232. When the Germans attempted to retake the hill, Andy faced his toughest battle and suffered a shoulder wound. Andy rejoined his company in time to fight in the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine campaign, and in Germany's Harz Mountains, where the Wehrmacht was trying to organize a last stand. Andy's outfit ends the war fighting in Czechoslovakia, where Andy witnesses the German surrender. Following occupation duty, Andy returned to the States in October 1945. The war shaped Andy's postwar life in countless ways, and in 1994, Andy made the first of three return visits to the European battlefields where he had fought. This vivid firsthand account takes the reader along from Normandy to victory with Andy and his machine-gun crew.
