Green Balls: The Adventures Of A Night Bomber is a memoir written by Paul Bewsher, a World War I pilot who served as a night bomber in the Royal Flying Corps. The book was first published in 1919 and provides a detailed account of Bewsher's experiences during the war, including his training, missions, and interactions with other pilots and ground crew.The title of the book refers to the green tracer bullets used by the German anti-aircraft guns that Bewsher and his fellow pilots had to dodge during their night raids. Bewsher describes the intense fear and danger of flying over enemy territory and dropping bombs on targets such as railway lines, ammunition dumps, and enemy troops.The book also provides insights into the daily life of a pilot during the war, including the challenges of maintaining aircraft and dealing with harsh weather conditions. Bewsher also reflects on the psychological impact of war on himself and his fellow pilots, as well as the devastation caused by the conflict.Overall, Green Balls: The Adventures Of A Night Bomber is a compelling and vivid account of one pilot's experiences during World War I, providing a unique perspective on the realities of aerial warfare during this turbulent period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
