My Dad was a B17 pilot and during his training he had to fire the guns from each position. He had to really squeeze down the tube for the tail gunner position, but he said the belly turrets was really hard to enter. I do not know if he ever could get in , certainly not with a chute pack . Regards, Edward


I got to fly in the one restored at Houston Hobby back in '85 or '86. My 26 year old 6' self was able to squeeze into the ball turret in flight. I doubt I could do it now.....
