My mums next door neighbour was a mid-upper gunner on a HH Halifax. He was a ‘caterpillar club’ member and was captured in Holland. He gave me a very interesting talk on defensive fire and how it was done. USAAF gunners tried to damage or destroy attacking planes but RAF doctrine was to drive the attacker off or cause their fire to miss. It was fascinating. Great vid btw (again:)
