Tail-End Charlies by John Nichol & Tony Rennell Book Summary

In Tail-End Charlies, John Nichol and Tony Rennell tell the astonishing and deeply moving story of the controversial last battles in the skies of Germany through the eyes of the forgotten heroes who fought them.

Night after night they stifled their fears and flew through flak and packs of enemy fighters to drop the bombs that would demolish the Third Reich. The airmen of the United States 8th Army Air Force American and British Bomber Command were among the greatest heroes of the Second World War, defying Hitler in the darkest early days of the war and taking the battle to the German homeland when no one else would.

Toward the end of the conflict, too, they continued to sacrifice their lives to shatter an enemy sworn never to surrender. Blasted out of the sky in an instant or bailing out from burning aircraft to drop helplessly into hostile hands, they would die in their tens of thousands to ensure the enemy's defeat. Especially vulnerable were the "tail-end Charlies"---for the Americans, which meant two things: the gunners who flew countless missions in a plexiglass bubble at the back of the bomber, and the last bomber in the formation who ended up flying through the most hell, and for the British, the rear-gunners who flew operations in a Plexiglas bubble at the back of the bomber.

Full of errors, trite and inaccurate. This review is based on reading the 90 page sample. Its trite prose and verbose narrative does little to paint an accurate portrait of the combat crews and their missions. As a bit of a WW2 aviation scholar i cringed at one stupid error after another. From misquoting Goering (it should be "call me Meier"; "call me Mueller" makes no sense and is simply inaccurate), to describing the peril of ditching in "the Atlantic" when they were over the North Sea (albeit a marginal portion of the Atlantic but certainly vague or misleading to call it that), to describing the roar of 134 engines starting (divide by four, that means two engines didn't start?), to the grossly inaccurate vernacular, the errors go on and on. There was so little substance to the first 90 pages that I found no reason to purchase this book. I would hate for Tail-End Charlies to be given credence or standing by anyone wanting to learn about this segment of history. There are too many other great books about this subject matter, including many that incorporate the true words of combat crewmen, to recommend this trite, inaccurate "piece of work." Sorry guys, but you just don't seem to have the Right Stuff.

Tail-End Charlies. Nichol and Rennell are outstanding historians and Tail-End Charlies, along with The Last Escape are masterpieces.
