Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
Walk Through page 2
This is the bomb-bay, as seen from the radio compartment, looking toward the cockpit.
A couple of more shots of the dummy 500 lbs. bombs.
Here is the radio operator's position and some of the radio equipment.
The radio operator also had a .50 caliber machine gun to man.
The radio operator's gun fired through the top of the fuselage and
was not mounted in a turret. It was a simple swivel mount with a
sliding track to pull it out through the open window for firing. This
is the forward and aft view from that window.
