A real story, by a real person...,

This review is from: Tales of a Tail Gunner: A Memoir of Seattle and World War II (Paperback)
This is not a flowery high-end literary treatment of the WWII tailgunner experience but is certainly an enjoyable story. I felt like I was listening to somebodys Dad do a good job of telling about their experiences in the big war.

The book tells it like it really was. No glossing over. Mr. Picardo's true feelings are felt thru out the book.

This review is from: Tales of a Tail Gunner: A Memoir of Seattle and World War II (Paperback)
Just a great simple, and true story. I was a tailgunner on B-17s same time as Picardo in B-24s. Picardo tells it as it was. Authentic as you can get.Highly recommended
