Tail-End Charlies
Archival Summary & Scope
In *Tail-End Charlies*, John Nichol and Tony Rennell tell the astonishing and deeply moving story of the forgotten airmen who fought the controversial final battles in the skies over Germany during WWII. The "tail-end Charlies"—rear gunners for both British Bomber Command and the U.S. 8th Army Air Force, and for Americans, the last bomber in formation—faced extreme danger, flying through flak and enemy fighters to demolish the Third Reich. This account illuminates their immense sacrifice and courage in ensuring the enemy's defeat.Archival Categorization Notes
