The average life expectancy of a rear gunner during World War 2 was 6 months. My father was just 20 when his aeroplane was shot down into the sea and he lived to tell the tale. He started to write about his experiences. Sadly, his book will never be finished because Tom died at age 80 in December 2000 but the chapters he wrote are fascinating. Includes photos, sketches and letters that he wrote. It's too large to publish here and contains many images. So I'll simply give the web page address where you can download a copy. It's FREE so enjoy it! (If you like it, let me know).

Message 1 - March in April

Posted on: 01 May 2005 by Ron Goldstein

Dear Martin
What a super way to get your father's story on to this site.
I have only one quibble.
The title 'March in April' gave me no indication as to what I might be missing if I didn't open the story and the same will probably happen to other like minded persons.
My late brother Sgt.Jack Goldstein was also an air-gunner but sadly never survived to tell his tale.
By your efforts your Dad will live on.
Well done
Ron
