Could Removing Air Gunners From WWII Bombers Really Have Saved Lives?

What if the maths of bomber losses suggested that aerial gunners were no longer necessary, would that be a good idea? In this video, I go over one of the most ‘interesting’ proposals to come out of the Operational Research Section attached to RAF bomber command. It’s an interesting debate, so I’ve done a lot of research into this question. I’d be very interested to see what you guys think as well. Leave me a comment, like, and maybe even subscribe to the channel. ⏱️ Timestamp: 0:00 The ‘no gunner’ theory 7:24 What did a gunner really do? 12:12 Did air gunners really matter? 18:46 The data on Removing gun turrets 21:41 The Mosquito debate #aviationhistory#history Credit to : Caliban Rising – Aviation History
