Not Clauswitz
The semi-sprawling Adventures of a Culturally Hegemonic Individualist-Imperialist and Anti-Idiotarian Functional-Structuralist, choking on the toxic-grade Smug emitted by the self-satisfied lotus-eating, Prius-driving, floppy-hat wearing, Lizadroid-Leftbat Califorganic Tofuistas. ~ With Guns, more Guns, Motorcycles, Snorkeling, and some Home-Improvement stuff.~
These old birds are tight! When my dad was at Annanpolis he rowed on the crew team and his shoulders got too wide to fly – he got washed-out as a radioman on a TBF because he couldn't fit in the low crawlspace they had.
The perception I got from watching the movie and tv series “12 O'clock High” was that the B-17 was fairly spacious inside. Wow, what a reality check a crawl through one a few years ago was! Now the requirement for the ball turret gunner to be a small guy makes sense. That whole plane felt tight, and I AM a small guy.
FHB – Especially for a tall guy your size!
So friggin' tiny inside.
I love that Wright data plate shot.
NICE! Thanks for that!
