The Machine Gunners, published in 1975 was the first novel written by English childrens and Young Adult author, [[
During one air raid, a German Heinkel bomber is shot down and crashes in the woods near to McGill's home. He finds it one morning and discovers that it's rear turret machine gun is still in place, intact and in full working condition. This, he decides, will be the finest war souvenir he's ever collected. With the help of a group of his school friends, he steals the gun and hides it, eventually building a secret hiding place for them to keep the weapon away from the prying eyes of grown-ups.
