which it him for the job. If a possible character for a rear gun- ner had to be imagined, "Tail End Charlie" might be appropriate.
Tail End Charlie, in his hutch at the end of a bomber, sits alone and looks backward all the time; it is perhaps for this reason that he is something of a philosopher. It is true that his meditation may
be interrupted at any moment.
He looks down on "a little dark cloud drifling quietly and spilling rain into the sea," he sees a rain- how far below him, but it will never be known what reflection this inversion of the natural order of things night have prompted.

But these interruptions, though Tail End Charlie must always be on the watch for them, are suffi- ciently rare; for the most part a quiet stoicism is required of him. However little is happening at any riven moment it is a point of honour that he should remain, cramped and often cold, in his lit- tle glass turret.
These long hours of lonely meditation have perhaps quicken- ed his perceptions; when some- thing does happen he is keenly aware of every detail. When o searchlight catches the bomber he feels like a nervous actor spotlit before a great audience-and 8 hostile audience at that." And if an answer is wanted to the ques- tion which so many people must have asked--what does it feel like to make a parachute jump?-Tail End Charlie is the man to give it. He is, of course, a man of action, but well able both to think and to communicate his thoughts; he is strong but by no means silent. His job gives him a certain detach- ment, Looking backwards he must feel a little out of it when he hears, at the other end of the in- tercommunication system, the rest of the crew talking about the landmarks for which they are searching or the target they have just recognised.
When the work is done and the bomber turns for home he will observe the last results of the raid and comment on those fires which he can still see when he is 30, 50, or 100 miles on the way back to his base.
His may sometimes be the final judgment, and it is appropriate that this should be made by one accustomed to take # detached view of the whole night's work.
But his rare moments of violent action demand exceptional powers of decision and initiative; all the more exceptional because such moments are so infrequent, and the rear gunner must so suddenly 28 To the shelter-rouse himself from his patient
