Tales of a Tail Gunner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
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
A real story, by a real person...

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.
An experience that few of us will ever have.

Eddie Picardo represents thousands of prople who served our country in a time of need. Eddie has done a great service to all of his fellow veterans by recording his memories. The book covers some personal experiences prior to WWII as well as time he spent in the military and after. It is a good general review of the times.
Would make a great movie!!

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