Walk Through page 3
Looking
through the door of the radio compartment at the waist gunners area.
The ball turret was also in this section.
Here is a shot looking from the rear of
this compartment forward.
Here is a piece of rasio gear in this
compartment. The yellow bottle is the oxygen bottle for the ball turret
and the wooden box is for ammunition for the waist gunner.
Below are a few shots of the waist
gunner's .50 caliber machine guns and the ammo boxes.
In the next shot, the tail section has
been cordoned off with a tarp. Behind that would be the tail wheel and
tail gunner's compartment.
Here is the auxiliary power unit.
The next three shots are looking from
the rear of the waist compartment toward the tail. In the last shot,
you can see the back of the twin .50 caliber machine guns and the
wooden ammo boxes.
The next 2 shots are looking into the
tail gunners position from outside the aircraft.
