Any idea what plane this could be?

I ran across this pic that I have never seen before. The caption says "Firing at Nazi planes 1942"

Don't think B-17 or B-24. Medium bomber? B18? Small windows to left of gunner? It is obviously a very early style gun station but on what aircraft?

I almost think this is a pic taken during training rather than combat. Any ideas....

Well whatever it is, he's not going to hurt anyone without bullets in that gun!

My guess is a B-24 Tunnel Gun (early model)

Google B-24 Tunnel Gun (pictures) and you get similar pictures

The pic is from a B-24L.

Thanks, I have never heard of the B-24L.
