Southerner lost in CO

8) Hello, I became interested in this site due to an interest in preserving and remembering the history of those who served in WWII. I have a cousin that has been influential in my life and he was a ball turret gunner on a B-17. I wish to learn as much about his service and that of his peers that I can to share with my children and the youth that I work with.

As you may know the ball turret was considered one of the most dangerous positions to be on a bomber, you might of seen the post where some pictures were shown. If yo have any questions please feel free to ask...

Welcome. The ball turret is the last place I would have wanted to be in a B-17. I assume your cousin was small in stature?
