B-24 Waist Guns


Recommended Posts

Trying to find an image of B-24 waist guns in the "stowed" position, not the enclosed windows with plexi in them, the older windows that had to be opened up and the the guns swung into position.

Any help would be awesome !!!

Thanks,

Pat

Not in the stowed position but may be of use, mention is made of straps being used to hold the guns in the stowed position:

This is perfect, I can see where the gun's vertical pivot point is, it's set back really far toward the rear of the gun, now  it's making sense !!!

Thank you very much !!!
