Steve...is that a smile or a grimace? I guess the average size of a Homo Sapiens male has greatly increased in 60 years which is strange as our morphology had been stagnant for millenia! I imagine a seviceman's size strongly influenced his choice of careers. Ever tried to fit in a Ball Turret? Or even make the traverse from the Bombardier's position to the Pilot's seat in a B17? I once sat in the seat of an ex-R.A.A.F. Hawker Sea Fury and even though I'm only slightly above average size (6' 2" 235lbs.) I had to roll my shoulders forward to fit. Would have been darned uncomfortable to have to fly an entire mission that way!
CHIMO!
