When I picked up a few books on Coachwhip.com, I picked this one up as well. It's a children's book from 1945 and tells the tale of Gunner, a Boston Terrier, who is part of a bomber crew in the Pacific. He goes on a mission to bomb battleships when things go wrong on the way back. Gunner is vital to the survival of his crew.
The pictures in this book are adorable. It's probably not for small children, and the labels used aren't appropriate today ( ex. "Jap"). The story was so good, and I loved it. I was a bit bummed to learn it wasn't a true story, because it seemed like it could've really happened.
The book is still available digitally on Coachwhip. It's super cute, and I really liked it. It's short, cute, and Gunner is a real (fictional) hero! Good Book!
