Air Gunners by Tim O’Flynn takes us into the RAF and two gunners that were flying in World War II. Tim O’Leary is an Irishman who meets up with Hal Grainger, an American who comes from the state of New Jersey. They train together in North Yorkshire, England. During gunner training they become friends and partners on the rear guns. Training sees action for them with shooting down some raiders, falling in love and, once they complete training, they marry their girls. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment the friends have, however, is 55 kills of enemy aircraft shared between them.
This is an action packed and amazing story of friendship during a time that was so hard for everyone all over the world. Tim and Hal are friends like you wouldn’t believe. Personally, I found Tim to be the most endearing, but what was truly amazing was their lasting friendship, and how they did so many things together - not the least of which was the heroic shooting down of enemies. There are few things as exciting to me as World War II and the men who flew dangerous missions like this. The book is well written and the detail is amazing; you can tell that Tim O’Flynn put a lot of research into this book to make sure the details were right. If you love a good war and action story that also has a firm angle of love and friendship, you can’t go wrong with this book. This is an incredible story that flows and is presented well. I would recommend it to anyone.
