Is that 8 Nazi Luftwaffe shot down?
Awesome
Add one more for a total of 9. See Swastika under side window gunner position.
the swastika by the nose gun means that one got a fighter
the bomb’s indicate number of missions but what do the stars over several of them mean?, military target?
My next door neighbor flew B-17’s. He said that gunners shooting down planes was more due to luck because the Bombers moved around so much. Moving around made you a harder target to hit. The only time they tried to fly completely level was when the bomb bay doors opened.
He later moved to fighters after his tour was up and said it felt like he had previously been flying a kite.
