Charles Bronson: Aerial Gunner During World War II
Doesn’t the title of aerial gunner look fascinating? It sure does, but the job is not a piece of cake! Charles Bronson who often portrayed gunfighter, police officer or vigilante on the silver screen was indeed a tough guy in real life. The actor has a proud history of serving as an air force officer in the US Army where he was a part of 25 combat missions that were conducted against Japanese forces.
As a recognition of his efforts and the wounds he received during the war, Bronson was honored with a Purple Heart. A few years later, Hollywood embraced a new-comer and we all know the rest.
