Mitch K Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Finally, there's the whole "tail turret being fitted to the mid-upper location" problem. Access to tail turrets was typically via a pair of doors at the rear of the turret whereas access to mid-upper turrets was from the fuselage below. Seems a strange thing to use a tail turret in a mid-upper location. Or am I missing something??? Cheers, Mark What I've read about the Air Engineering Officer on Malta, a chap named Louks, suggests that overcoming this would have been a very minor irritation... The phrases "can't be done" and "nobody can fix that" seem not to have applied to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I know, it really is terribly unfair and old fashioned for someone to spend many hours of their own time, and their own money on things like photographs (originals or good prints, and reproduction rights from archives), digest the information, distill it into a quality narrative, assemble the whole, and then have the gall to actually ask someone to pay for a copy. I assume it is THIS BOOK, and I've provided a link to Amazon UK, where a copy can be purchased. bob Well, now that I know what the book is titled, maybe I will buy one. Even though I am now retired and on a pension, I will see if I can gather the funds. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I do have a copy of that photo but it isn`t the photo from my book. At least you know what the Maryland looks like now, there are quite a few photos of them fitted with the A.W turret knocking about, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
