Great shots. The upper turret gunner looks like he would be pretty limited to where he could fire and not hit his own aircraft

This shot was taken at Banana River Naval Air Station, now the location of Patrick AFB. The big seaplane ramps running down into the river are still there, but the submerged water runway lights have not worked in a long time.

That's a very interesting photo: it shows a PBM-3R (the transport version of the Mariner) but in the Anti-submarine Scheme (ASW II)! I haven't seen it before.

Was the dorsal radome removed on these pictures, or are these pictures from an earlier mark that didn't include the radome?
