B-17 bomb bay walkway

[rwilling]

Hello all: I'd like to know the length and width of the walkway from forward compartment rear ward to the radio room in a B-17. Am editing the memoir of a relative who made that walk twice, with bomb bays open and bombs discharged and an engine on fire, to aid crew members preparing to evacuate. Big thanks.
