jackyl posted:my grandfather was a bombardier in b 17s and gave me a typewritten copy of his bombing runs once, which was cool bombardier or ball gunner? Not to be a poo poo here but the "glass bubble" sounds like the ball turret and it's inches off the ground and you have nothing under you and I know for a fact the regulations were not allowing people in the ball turret during takeoff In a B-17 the bombardier was ahead of the navigator, so in the plexiglass nose. So if you mean that bubble then yeah I could see that but afaik being in the nose was the standard take-off position for bombardiers SniperWoreConverse posted:Nobody knows any details. The only thing left is a little urn of ashes, some old pics, and an amulet. I remember him sitting me and my siblings down when we were young as gently caress and explaining how when he died he wanted to be cremated and what that ment and he probably had like ten years left. My mom flipped out and thought we'd be, like, traumatized or something, but I at least was totally fine with it and got it.

Sorry, guys, it was me. I invented the whole 'medicate 'em straight' thing. I am a time traveller and I had to go back to Get Granddad Laid otherwise I was going to not be born, but it turned out he was gay! Well, I had to do *something* He hung himself later, but hey, I'm here!
