Aircrewman's Gunnery. Issued by Aviation Training Unit, U.S. Navy, 1944. Leatherette covers, corners curled. This consists of three sections: 1. Guns, 110 pages.

This has been used, some underlining and some notations. The manual would have been used for training of gunners in single engine dive bombers and torpedo planes, 4 engine planes such as PBYs or patrol bombers. Great item for any WWII aviation or Navy collection. I tried to list this with the cover title but eBay says I used that dreaded word that would reveal dark secrets about our military capacity so I could not use that word to describe this training book....Shipping weight over 2 pounds. Sorry, will not ship overseas but only to Canada.
