Air gunner

Air gunner

An air gunner (AG) is a member of an air force aircrew who operates flexible-mount or turret-mounted machine guns or autocannons in an aircraft. Modern aircraft weapons are usually operated automatically without the need for a dedicated air gunner, but bombers used to carry up to eight air gunners.
