Tail Gunner Takes Over (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | R C Rivaz | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Flight Lieutenant Richard Rivaz' continues his firsthand account of his time in RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War.

After his heroic exploits as a tail gunner, as narrated in the bestselling Tail Gunner, Rivaz is moved on to flight training in Canada. And for a man used to bombing raids over Europe, the war in Canada is a very different world...

Rivaz describes the intensely rigorous training he undertakes, documenting both his successes and failures as he learns to fly. He reveals what it was like to train as a pilot during the Second World War with a remarkably modest yet vivid narration.

Yet Rivaz' memoir is also an account of those who served around him. Including one pilot who believed gremlins brought down his plane. Written within months of the events, Rivas describes with the immediacy of a man who was in the thick of the action.

Tail Gunner Takes Over is a powerfully personal memoir of one man's war in the air.
