It was always the first target and the percentages of surviving a mission as a belly gunner were as low and you could get. Henry Smith (Hank to those who knew him) was one of these unfortunate positioned to this on the plane. Follow him as he literaly fights for his very lofe and the lives of his crew members thousands of feet in the air, in this unusual and provacative biography of this remarkable man’s life.
