Click here to link to VIDEO - See Dennis Bielskis get into and out of the ball turret (on YouTube). His Dad, 384th Veteran Pete Bielskis was a ball turret gunner in WWII.

It should be noted that, in a B-17, the entry into the ball turret is downward, rather than horizontal as ahown here. That should make it "a lot easier", don't you think?
