It is a first hand account of the wartime career of Tom Pickering from signup to POW in germany. He flew in aircraft types we have yet to cover eg Battle's, Blenheim's and Beauforts and has some interesting technical details on guns used etc and also gives lots more background information on the times. It is posted on his sons site in his memory ,as sadly Tom died in Dec 2000, his son Martin has made Tom's account available from his site, he plans to update the book further so check back to see if it is updated.

Also go to this link for more gunner stories, this site covers the story of Joseph Fusniak who was the sole survivor of a crashed Wellington.
