Not if you have long legs. Or if you like people. ,1 . After interviewing countless B-29 a good story) curiosity overcame me in the tail gunner's compartment; of a B-29. . . ? The pilots, Lt CoL James W. Guthrie pf LaGrande, Ord, and Lt Max H. Braselton of Atlanta, G& were a ibit skeptical 'before . the takeoff ! but the flight engineer, Capt Leo. H. Booth of San An tonio, Tex was enthusiastic. He has short legs. J-o'- For the sake of all the lucky peo ple in the world who are not tail gunnersi I will give a .brief de scription of the compartment It is located in the very end of the B-29's huge taiL It is a little glass- enclosed room - maybe two feet wide. The glass is very thick. There's barely room for ja gunner and a Japanese bullet too, inside that sardine salon. 1 The gunner enters by crawling on his stomach all the dark way through: the long taiL j Reaching the end, he wriggles erect and pulls out a sort of canvas shelf, with an Cm comfortable wooden back. How the tail gunners that have been flying in all these B-29s on all those raids over Japan ever stood that canvas seat beats me. If s on the order of those canvas jumper j swings built for babies (with whom I now deeply sympa thize) only It has a bar across the front to hold it in place. One hangs one's legs 'over the bar. Within the first 20, minutes of my flight cir culation had given up anil both my legs slept soundly all the way. No Gnns Present In front of the gunner's canvas seat is a shelf on which bis gun Is mounted. (They didnt put it in for me, fearing, no doubt, Id shoot myself.) ' : Whati bothered me most was the extreme heat Never in all my life had I perspired so profusely as in that little glass-enclosed hot box. Water ran off my face and splashed onto my Sarins and onto the shelf in front 'of me. I was sure I'd suffocate right there, unheard by the crew, away up in front, over the roar of jthe B-29's engines and how thosa babies do roar! j .

Next thing I knew we -were taking off. Taking off Is putting it mildly. We were roar ing, rushing, tearing down that black-top runway at a faster speed than I've imagined. .

I apprehensive ly tested my slumbering legs to see if they'd hold me up and then wriggled, backwards, through the long tail, down the ladder and out onto the ground. . To all tail gunners, if I had my way, I'd present two congression al medals of honor one for each leg. HOUSING SET FOR JEWS !
