About the Book

This book is about my experiences as a Tailgunner on a B-29 in Korea, during the Korean war. I am hopeing that it will give an insite as to what this war was about. Although people call it a conflict, we as veterans think otherwise, we believe it was a war. Come ride along with me on some 27 combat missions over North Korea. Venture into the night life on a B-29 at 29,000 ft. over the mountains of Korea, see the snow covered barron lands. It also covers a little about my growing up and how I became a tailgunner. The extensive training it takes to become a crew member.


About the Author

Actualy I can say I love life and try to live it to the fullest. When I came home from the service I met my lovely wife Louisa. We had three children, Christopher, Renee' and Kevin, And now I have 5 Lovely Grandchildren, Sheridon, Emersen, Ian, Andrew and William and two lovely Daughter-in-laws Karen, and Anita and a great son-in-law David. Before our family grew Louisa and I travel all over the world. Places like Italy, China, Australia and many other places. I have been thinking about writing about these experiences.
