Скачать или смотреть The Father Who Rebuilt a Bomber

Brisbane, 1942. Captain Paul “Pappy” Gunn crouched under an A-20, hands black with grease, bolting .50-cal guns where the bombardier should sit. Engineers in Ohio said it was unsafe. Impossible.His wife and four kids were starving behind barbed wire in Manila. Every Japanese ship that reached New Guinea meant one more day they might not survive.So he turned bombers into flying gun barrels, ripping guns from wrecked fighters, shifting radios to the tail, test-flying the monsters himself.At the Bismarck Sea, those ugly, nose-heavy B-25s skimmed the waves, guns roaring, bombs skipping into hulls. A convoy meant to save an army vanished beneath the water.History remembers the “commerce destroyer.” The men who flew it remembered a father who refused to wait while his family starved.
