"...a riveting story of the mid-20th century bomber era and those that performed the mission."
- General Norton A., "Norty" Schwartz, USAF, Retired, former Chief of Staff, United State Air Force
You don't know much about the Korean War. You know even less about the air war over Korea. You know nothing about the B-29 in the Korean War. And what you've been told is mostly wrong. The truth has been buried for years. This book tells it straight - no spin.
Gunners! B-29 Gunners in the Korean War, gives voice to ten ordinary men who rose to extraordinary accomplishments, then came home to lead ordinary lives. Time is catching up with the 'Silent Generation." Now in their 90s, these veterans carry the final echoes of a defining chapter in history. This powerful collection offers a rare, intimate look before their stories fade from living memory.
Their journey did not end in the skies over the Korean peninsula. These Veterans, their families and friends, still carry invisible burdens, unseen wounds that linger long after the uniform is folded away. America needs their quiet strength now more than ever - a reminder that discipline, determination, and devotion still matter.
Most books wrongly tell you that the B-29 was outclassed, obsolete, and irrelevant to the ground war. Popular accounts label the B-29 record as "Black Thursday," "Black Tuesday," "Driven from the Skies," and other such misguided interpretations. Few tell of how the Air Force continuously adapted aerial warfare technology, tactics, techniques and procedures to achieve command of the skies. None capture the essence of these resilient men who were born and raised in the era of bread lines, blackouts, ration books and radio static.
