I had the opportunity to get into a Mitchell last year. Sat in the pilot's seat, then crawled forward thru
the tight tunnel to the nose position. No big or fat folks are going to the nose. Low tunnel below and
left of pilot position. They made a bunch of them here in KC.
Also crawled through the B17. Certainly more roomy up in the nose.
I have seen many Civil War photos since I was a youngster, living in Va and learning Virgnia History
in the 1950s and early 60s. Lots of it was right around us within short driving distance. First settlers,
Jamestown, and all the stuff at Williamsburg, Yorktown and then a number of CW battlefields, Chancellorsville,
The Wilderness, Petersburg, Manassas and the surrender at Appomatox. All places I know very well.
Always so sad to see all the dead littering the battlefields.
