B-17 Flying Fortress

Inside the B-17

Ball Turret

The reason I posted the ball turret is that my father-in-law was a turret gunner in WWII and was in the first daylight raid on Berlin in early March of 1944. He was in the 8th AF, 95th bomb group, 412 squadron stationed in Horham, England. He happens to be in this picture from Life magazine dated March 27, 1944, that is him on the far left part of the wing a bit off by himself.
