Smith in B-26

Then Smith climbs into the tail gun position on plane #61, the Martin B-26, they will fly with today. As soon as Foulkes finished snapping the picture, he climbed into the bomber via the ladder in the left foreground and got up into his turret, ready for take-off. Both gunners make last-minute adjustments before the formation takes-off, then are ready to test fire their guns on the way to the target. (See for main caption) Machine gun B-26 Tail Gunner
