Quoted Text

I'd like to devote - and dedicate - this Weekend Wings to the often-ignored, under-appreciated and anonymous members of many World War II bomber crews: the air gunners. Since most defensive aircraft gun development took place in Britain and the USA, this article will concentrate on those countries. German, Japanese and Soviet aircraft mainly used gun mountings rather than powered turrets (with some exceptions).
