- pineythey fail to mention that that speed was attained just seconds after it was puhed out of the loading ramp of a C-119 at 5000 feet

I'll admit I thought it was going to be G%$&N propaganda
- pineyhate to rain on the parade but the turrets used on various U.S. airforce aircraft were manufactured by Sperry, Martin, and Bendix. They are all different designs. The turrets on the B-29 are unmanned remote control units. I think just because it happens to be a round plexiglass turret people think they are all the same. I don't mean this as a slap at Tucker, he was very talented, but not the designer of those turrets on the aircraft. the aircraft turret that most resembles the one on the armored car is the British Boulton Paul fitted to Hudson bombers.
