The craft's hydraulics got damaged and stopped working, which made it impossible to drop the landing gear or to rotate the ball turret (it had to be properly positioned in order for the gunner to open the little door and climb into the craft) so the gunner was stuck in there and they had to belly land. I always thought the B- 17 had a manual override crank or something to rotate the ball turret by hand... But maybe they didn't all have those, or it was also damaged (or maybe I'm mistaken about the existence of a manual override). Hey Bertie, your forgot to change your name back!!! :0) From my headers: Path: auth.newsreader.octanews.com!newsreader.visi.com!n ews- out.octanews.net!indigo.octanews.net!auth.brown.oc tanews.com.POSTED! not- for-mail Date: 05 Jun 2008 00:00:10 GMT NNTP-Posting-Date: 04 Jun 2008 19:00:10 CDT X-Complaints-To: From BtB's headers: Path: auth.newsreader.octanews.com!newsreader.visi.com! indigo.octanews.net!news-out.octanews.net!mauve.octanews.net! blackhelicopter.databasix.com!not-for-mail Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 00:56:08 +0000 (UTC) X-Complaints-To: NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 00:56:08 +0000 (UTC) ...So not only did he change his name, he also paid for a second service provider, teleported himself across several timezones to use it, then teleported back to use his first provider and post as himself again from his original location. LOL Well, I'm ****ed now, he and his buds have tracked me down... Bertie |
