Re: Gunner Shots

Well if it was the ball turret upper assembly and ammo cans would have been a bit visible but its hard to tell. It could be an earlier B-17 though...

Re: Gunner Shots

B-24. Judging by the green part on the tail...possibly a B-24 called 'The Dragon And His Tail'. Lavish art to say the least.

The waist guns are staggered. I think it was the B-17E that adopted that layout when the tail was extended. All subsequent models had staggered waist guns as well so it's hard to say. Most B-17s were the G model so odds are it's one of them.

Re: Gunner Shots

OK guys, how about this one...



If anyone would be interested, I found a load of cockpit shots we could start another thread with.

Just trying to keep the section going until Dave gets back.
