The Aluminum Overcast On The Ground (part 2)
Upper gun turret behind the cockpit.
Fuselage and waist-gunner window. If you look closely you will see the machine gun pointing right at the camera.
(Remember, click on photos to enlarge.)
Tail. I have no idea what the letters mean.
Rear gun with period dressed and equipped mannequin sitting behind the plexiglass. This was the only area we were not allowed in.

I know!! :)
I had to scroll down to the next post to see why a mannequin was in the plane. Hope you had a great ride and great birthday! http://looseleafnotes.com
I did, colleen, I did. :)
The tail markings denote the Bomb Group/Wing that the plane belongs to - Triangle "W". It gets more detailed as well - here's a little 101 on how to decode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAAF_unit_identification_aircraft_markings
Thanks, Carrie, very helpful.
