  7. The thing to note is, when did the light positions became standard for aircraft, i think it was post war so each country probably had their own regulations before that time. Jari

  20. I read in a Skyraider book the pilot of a family model AD during a pre-flight briefing told his crew, who sat in the back in the fuselage compartment, when they see him go by the window, that was their signal to bailout. Jari
  21. The tail gunner's entry hatch is on the right, in the middle is the drag chute hatch and the one on the left is for gun loading: i remember reading about an incident on a long range flight, Chrome Dome?, the crew couldn't contact the tail gunner so one member got a portable oxygen bottle, crawled all the way to the tail gunner's position to check on him. He found him safe and sound but the intercomm was u/s so the two of them made their way back up front. It must have been an interesting trip crawling the length of a B-52 while airborne. Jari
