Tail-End Charlie
By Mick Manning
Illustrated by Brita Granstrom
Through scrapbook-style journal entries, this book aims to tell the story of the brave young men who risked everything for the sake of their country.
During the course of World War II, many airmen lost their lives fighting in the skies above Europe. Off all the dangerous jobs to do on board a bomber plane, the tail gunner was by far the most hazardous. This is the true story of Charlie Manning, a tail-gunner who flew with his crew in a B25 Mitchell.
- Exciting and young text, perfect to use as an introduction to the Second World War.
