This book is a tribute to Mick Manning’s father who was a rear gunner flyer bomber missions in the Second World War! In 1945 a soldier got smacked in the face with a piece of shrapnel in a plane crash and it broke his face and he ended up in the RAF Hospital. He smashed his jaw but almost lost his head. The  Rear Gunners were nicknamed ‘Tail End Charlies’ because they were the crew members.
