Do we know for sure if that belly gunner -- gear up landing scene
really happened?

This is not an attempt to belittle any who have put themselves at risk
for the rest of us: the question I have is do we know with certainty
the gear up landing with a trapped belly gunner is reality based or is
it from a film?


It happened more than once. The ball turret was operated by a
mechanism that would get shot out and so the gunner couldn't get the
ball back up into the fuselage to get out of it.
