Information About

Tail Gunner




The tail gunner found heaviest use during the World War II and Cold War years on large Bomber s, but the position has become largely obsolete due to advancements in ranged air combat armaments such as Air-to-air Missile s as well as modern detection and Countermeasure s against such armaments.

The life of the tail gunner is commemorated in the Iron Maiden song ''Tailgunner'' from the No Prayer For The Dying album.
