A few more WWII bomber shots

The "Aluminum Overcast " was the one I bought a ride on....cost $400 for about a 45 minute flight and worth every nickel.







The f0llowing two shots are of the belly turret on the " Aluminum Overcast ". The second ia a little lighter than I would normaly process but I wanted to show the interior with some detail. The two machine guns are the square looking boxes on the top right and top left. You had to be very small to get into this thing.....I mean TINY....and the thought of flying a 6 to 8 hour mission, or more, cramped in this turret is incomprehensible to me.

I remember standing up in the upper turret of 909, trying to fathom what the sight of 109's bearing down on you must have been like. It made me sweat and suddenly feel quite claustrophobic, but I'm certain my imagination came nowhere near the reality of that type of scenario. And that wasn't near as cramped as that ball turret looked

Nice work!

Great images Tom. I especially appreciate # 5 (the interior of the belly turret). I considered getting down there to capture that view but the thought of having to call for help to get back up convinced me to pass on it.:D
