James Blackwell Publishes Military History Book Gunners The Men Who Manned the B-29 Machine Guns in the Korean War
Renowned military analyst releases richly detailed, meticulously researched account of forgotten heroes from a largely forgotten conflict—and shares insights into what it means for today’s military
United States, 23rd Jul 2025 —Dr. James Blackwell, the renowned military analyst, lecturer, and author, today announced the release of his latest book, “Gunners! The Men Who Manned the B-29 Machine Guns in the Korean War.” Blackwell is a Korean War Historian for the 307th Bombardment Group Association. In the book, Blackwell shares the stories of a largely forgotten group of airmen in a conflict that is also quickly receding from American memory. The richly detailed, meticulously researched account is primarily based on the service members’ own words. It has been vetted through reliable archival sources, as well.
“The airmen who manned the machine guns on the B-29 bombers in Korea have many powerful stories to share,” explained Blackwell, who served as CNN’s first full-time on-air military expert during the 1991 Gulf War and as the Fox News Network’s founding military analyst. “They’re part of a lost generation of soldiers who honorably served their country in a war that most Americans now know little about. But, there’s a lot we can learn from their experiences in the conflict.”
The Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, began when Communist North Korea invaded South Korea. It became a bloody proxy war between the United States and its allies fighting against North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. Over 36,000 Americans died in the war, which had a total military and civilian death toll estimated at upwards of 2-1/4 million.
The US Air Force deployed B-29 bombers, built for service in World War II, to Korea. The planes, known as “super fortresses,” were the largest and most sophisticated aircraft in the world. By Korea, fighting against Russian MiG-15 jets, the US Air Force had to inject new technology, and adapt its tactics, techniques and doctrine as the Air force accelerated the development and production of newer jet bombers. Some B-29s were shot down, causing airmen who survived bailing out to become prisoners of war (POWs).
“The history of B-29 gunners in Korea is not just about the past,” explained Blackwell. “Of course, we should honor the valor and sacrifice of these men, but there’s a lot we can learn about the present and future of warfare from this history. Listening to accounts of air combat in a B-29 over Korea can teach us about the consequences of ever-changing weaponry and its impact on warfighting strategies. Yesterday’s unbeatable weapon is tomorrow’s museum piece—a reality we’re seeing in Ukraine and elsewhere as $1,000 cardboard drones shoot down $100 million fighter jets, to name just one example.”
According to the author, “After the war, these veterans entered lifelong middle-class skilled labor or management careers and today live on a variety of government and commercial retirement fixed income sources. In addition to age-related medical issues, they present a variety of combat-related conditions, including PTSD, and many suffer from unique cold weather-related disabilities such as skin cancer and frostbite scars. With this book, their families and friends will be able to fill in the blanks of what happened to their loved ones.”
Blackwell wrote the book in part because time was running out to hear the airmen’s stories firsthand. He said, “There are fewer than 500,000 Korean War Veterans alive today. By 2030, the Veterans Administration projects their number will decline to just over 138,000. In June 1952, at the peak of the Air War in Korea, the USAF had 11,233 Airmen fighting the Korean War in Asia. The youngest of them is today 90 years old.”
He added, “Today, these veterans are mostly males in their 90s, whose honorable legacy of family and work experience is far removed from today’s more entitled generations. Many Korean War veterans are left alone, or live in Veterans Homes, skilled nursing facilities, or, tragically, out on the streets. The COVID-19 pandemic took a disproportionate toll on these aging war heroes.”
About the Author
Since his retirement from the U.S. Army in 1987, Dr. Blackwell has conducted research and analysis on military concepts, strategy and technology, serving as Director of Political Military Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and at several corporate organizations under contract to the Department of Defense and other government agencies, including a number of seminal studies for the Office of Net Assessment. He was Cable News Network’s full-time military analyst during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and was Fox News Channel’s founding Military Analyst.

Effortless Heathrow Taxi Bookings with Sky Bridge Cars — A Better Start to Your London Journey
- The Smarter Way to Begin or End Your Heathrow Trip
London, UK, 22nd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Anyone who’s flown through Heathrow knows the routine — long flights, queues at customs, juggling luggage and connections. It’s precisely at this point that Sky Bridge Cars steps in, turning what could be the most stressful stage of travel into the most relaxing one. Their Heathrow Taxi service was designed for people who value time, comfort and certainty.

From last-minute business departures to family arrivals from overseas, Sky Bridge Cars provides an effortless, end-to-end experience. Passengers simply book, meet their driver and ride — everything else is handled quietly in the background.
Three-Step Booking, Zero Stress
One reason travellers across the UK prefer Sky Bridge Cars is its friction-free online booking process:
- Choose your journey type – one-way or return.
- Enter details – pick-up address, flight number, terminal, date and time.
- Confirm instantly – secure payment, digital receipt, and driver assignment.
Within minutes you receive confirmation by email or WhatsApp including car type, registration and driver contact. The system automatically monitors flight status, meaning your driver adjusts if you land early or late — no extra coordination needed.
Vehicles Tailored to Every Traveller
Whether you’re a solo professional, a family of five or a small corporate group, Sky Bridge Cars has a vehicle to suit. The Heathrow fleet includes:
- Executive saloons – Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 for corporate comfort.
- Estate & MPV models – ideal for families and those with extra luggage.
- Minibuses – accommodating up to 8 passengers for group travel.
Each vehicle is climate-controlled, spotless, and fully insured. Complimentary bottled water, child seats (on request) and quiet rides make the journey feel more like a chauffeur service than a standard taxi.
Fixed Fares with British Clarity
Sky Bridge Cars believes transparency builds trust. Every Heathrow Taxi fare is fixed at the time of booking — there are no surprises for traffic, waiting time or detours. UK travellers appreciate knowing the exact price before setting off, and international guests find it refreshing to avoid hidden extras that often appear in metered rides.
You can pay securely online, by card, or set up a company account for recurring transfers. Invoices and receipts are issued automatically, ensuring compliance with UK business-travel requirements.
Why It Works So Well for UK Travellers
The team at Sky Bridge Cars is made up of locals who understand London’s roads, not just its postcodes. Their drivers know when to avoid the M25 bottleneck, how to reach Paddington during strike hours, and which routes offer scenic drives for first-time visitors.
Whether you’re heading from Heathrow to Oxford for a conference, to Windsor for a weekend, or simply home to Surrey, your driver’s local knowledge can save both time and frustration. This familiarity with UK traffic patterns — including school-run delays and event closures — gives Sky Bridge Cars a genuine edge over app-based services.
Safety and Professional Standards
Every driver employed by Sky Bridge Cars holds a Transport for London (TfL) licence, is DBS-checked, and undergoes regular customer-service training. Vehicles are inspected daily for safety and cleaned thoroughly before every trip.
To complement safety with sustainability, the company continues to expand its hybrid and fully electric Heathrow fleet. Travellers who choose Sky Bridge Cars contribute to cleaner air without sacrificing comfort — a welcome step in Britain’s drive toward greener transport.
Customer Service that Travels with You
Behind every successful transfer is a responsive operations team. Sky Bridge Cars provides live phone and WhatsApp support 24 hours a day. Need to update a pickup time? Lost an item in the car? A real person responds immediately — not a bot.
Many passengers comment that this human touch makes a noticeable difference: polite reminders, reassurance during delays and genuine follow-ups after the journey. It’s customer care the way UK travellers expect it — practical, polite and personal.
Ideal for Business, Family and Tourism
Corporate users appreciate monthly invoicing, flight monitoring and account dashboards showing upcoming journeys. Families value reliability after long-haul flights. Tourists enjoy a warm British welcome without the anxiety of unfamiliar transport systems.
For event organisers, weddings, or conference logistics, the company can coordinate multi-vehicle fleets arriving at different terminals simultaneously — all under one master booking.
Real Reviews, Real Reliability
Online feedback reinforces what passengers already know. Reviews on Google and Trustpilot praise Sky Bridge Cars for punctuality, friendliness and exceptional value. Words like “smooth,” “professional,” and “stress-free” appear repeatedly — the qualities that define true service excellence in the UK airport-transfer market.
Make the Smart Choice Before You Fly
For Britons returning from holidays, international visitors exploring London, or business executives connecting flights, booking a Heathrow Taxi with Sky Bridge Cars ensures a perfect start or finish to the journey.
Avoid the queues, sidestep the stress and arrive exactly when you need to — relaxed, refreshed and ready.
