B 17 Tail Gunner Kelly Martinson
If you ever wondered what it took to become a gunner on a B-17, Kelly lays it all out. The same goes for life as a POW. Kelly was shot down on his 16th mission and was transferred between multiple POW camps as the war drew to a close. This is a great opportunity to learn about what life was like as a WWII gunner and later a POW. This is part one of two. Part one covers his training up to being shot down, and part two covers his life in multiple POW camps up to his liberation by General Patton. If you love WWII historical fiction, please check out my eBook, the Ninth Bomber Reunion, available on Amazon Kindle. It is the story of a B-17 and their tour of duty in England: https://www.amazon.com/Ninth-Bomber-R...
