For all the endless volumes written about combat pilots (and to a lesser extent, bombardiers and navigators), aerial gunners have always gotten relatively short shrift, credit, or appreciation in the writings of most aerial combat historians, so the authors of "Gunner," Messrs. Nijboer and Patterson, seek to rectify this shortcoming, and they've done an admirable job of it.
Superbly detailed text and photographs alike. I especially like the section on the Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber (my favourite WWII warbird) and Nijboer's statistics on the SBD's air-to-air kill tally.
