When Army engineers banned Pappy Gunn's modified B-25 bomber as a suicide mission, they had no idea it would become the deadliest gunship in WW2 history. This is the untold story of how one mechanic's illegal weapon changed the Pacific War forever.

In 1942, the Pacific War was being lost. Japanese convoys ruled the seas around New Guinea, and American bombers couldn't hit moving ships. Then Paul "Pappy" Gunn, a civilian mechanic with a personal vendetta, took a welding torch to a B-25 Mitchell bomber and created something the world had never seen.
