Скачать или смотреть Pappy Gunn The Navy Mechanic Who Built Impossible Gunships & Crushed Japan’s Pacific Fleet PRT 1

In the darkest days of the Pacific War, one man refused to let his family rot in a Japanese prison camp. Paul “Pappy” Gunn—a retired Navy chief turned airline founder—took salvaged .50-caliber guns from wrecked fighters and turned ordinary bombers into flying destroyers. His field-modified A-20s and B-25 Mitchell strafers flew at wavetop height, shredded Japanese deck guns, and skip-bombed entire convoys into the Bismarck Sea.
What the Wright Field engineers called “impossible” became the decisive weapon that stopped Japan’s reinforcement of New Guinea forever. This is the true story of a mechanic’s genius, a father’s desperation, and the low-level air war that changed history.
