"In the early 1960s technicians took the pilot out of the plane's cockpit put him on the ground at an electronic black box and had him 'fly' spy missions by remotely controlling an pilotless jet airplane. Because of this advanced technique formerly dangerous intelligence-gathering flights in hostile areas were possible without risking the lives of pilots or the loss of extremely costly manned aircraft. This then is the story of 'Lightning Bugs' and other Ryan reconnaissance drones and the contributions they made in combat in Southeast Asia."

‎Wainwright John.‎

‎TAIL-END CHARLIE. ONE MAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH A WAR.‎

‎Macmillan London 1978. 187 pp 8vo 8 1/8" H hard cover in dust jacket. Ex-library. "The story of one man's journey through a war.including the funny bits frightening bits and idiotic bits. That is how John Wainwright approaches the subject of how he came to fly - and to survive - no less than seventy-two night bombing raids in Lancasters in the second world war. It was theoretically seventy-three raids - but he explains the circumstances that made the number officially even greater than it really was. On all these missions he flew as Rear-Gunner. As an introduction to this daunting experience he tells of his short adult working life in 'civvy street' before the Air Force claimed him. But the book is about flying the crew he flew with s o m e i n d i v idual raids perhaps above all his direct and down-to-earth recollections of 'what it was like'. John Wainwright does not deal in heroics 'stiff upper lips' the tradition of much recent writing about the war. Factual detail is p ar t of hi s bu si ne ss - such as in his description of what gear the rear-gunners donned for each flight unofficial as well as official: the unofficial armour to protect their manhood for instance. He defends his generation: 'Occasionally as in 19 39 war b eco mes th e lesser of two evils and at that moment it becomes not glorious but urgent.But let nobody suggest that we who fought that war enjoyed that war'.It is one man's journey through a war - a fascinating recollecti on in tran q uili ty by a man who lived through one of the most terrifying parts cast for those who acted in the Second World War."
