Below are two other shots of the nose where the bombardier sat.
Also some 50 Cal. guns.

Below are pictures of the bottom gun turret with
the 50 Cal. guns.. Like it's top side twin, it can
turn and move up and down.
Seeing the man on the right you may imagine the
crampness of being in this unit.This was one of the most dangerous place to be

while being attacked other than the tail gunner placement.

No one liked to be a tail gunner.

Below is a much better shot of the nose art.
Below it are more links.
