In the B-26 we had no escape hatch at all. The bombardier had along path to
creawl in front of the copilot then out the bombay. A long trip indeed. Maybe
we should break down the losses by aircraft type rather than lumping all
bombers together
You have to do that at a minimum, and also you may have to modify things by
mission type, theater etc. A B-25 strafer in the PTO is likely to have very a
different crew casualty breakdown than the same a/c doing medium altitude bombing
in the MTO.
