Storage in ww2 fighters?

[MiTasol]

Not a classic WW2 aircraft but there was a large "baggage" space accessible from the starboard side behind the cockpit on the Seversky P-35. The aerofiles site shows one P-35 fitted out with a buddy seat..

Even the ones without a buddy seat were used to carry passengers at least once

From Bill Bartsch's book Doomed at the start, page 238

As do I..I can only wonder if each pilot had his own "personal funnel"- ditto each crew member on a B-17??

Ask Bill Runnels

You are correct. The Browning (1919A-1?) in the British .303 were used. Perhaps Vickers were used in WW1 British aircraft?

The Vickers Mk V was used in the Australian Wirraway throughout ww2 because Australia had to pay import duty to Britain on any non British imports

Seversky used to carry his wife around in the "baggage compartment" of his P-35 demonstrator.
