Through remarkable photography, this book allows one to see close up, the cramped, cold, exposed turrets that so many young men fought and died in. Veterans describe in spirited detail what it was like to fly and fight in the war's most renowned aircraft. Book reveals not just the turrets of such famous aircraft, but also the rarely seen gun positions of aircraft.
