Nice! Especially the last one. My uncle who flew top turret in B-17s passed about two years ago. The story had always been he was a tail gunner; untill I got inside of one that visits Napa every year along with a Liberator, offering rides! One look and I realized my uncle Bill could'nt have been the tail gunner: even I could'nt crawl back there, much less fit in the tail position! At a reunion, he corrected the story!! My uncle-in-law Bob, who flew B-24s on anti-sub patrols, also just passed this year...
