Tail Gunner: 98 Raids In World War II (1999) By Chan Chandler
 
By the close of the Second World War, Flight Lieutenant Chan Chandler had flown a remarkable 98 missions, 65 of them with No. 49 Squadron and 28 with the famous Dambuster Squadron, No. 617.
 
His career started early in the war, flying the twin-engine Handley Page Hampden, an aircraft that did not boast any power-operated gun turrets and that was particularly vulnerable in the presence of night fighters.
 
Chan describes in vivid detail the experience of the remote tail gunner's position, what it was like to be cramped into a Perspex cocoon for seven hours, with the only link to the crew being via RT.
