WE are looping! Why not stick to the dive bomber topic? LG had soe good stuff. But can you use your guns while floating out of your seat?

AS for ventrel gunners, I have read ball guner stories that are just to sick to relate and others that say they sweat at -30 degrees F

I should think the rear gunner on a dive-bomber wouldnt do much whilst diving anyway would they?

it's to vague because the most dangerous posistion will vary from bomber to bomber and it depends on the bomber's country of origin...............

Nope, he was a famous Britsh racing driver in the early 1900's, and his name lives on throught the British Isles as a kind of "mild blasphemy"

But we are talking dive bombers. As for the position differig for bober types and builders, that is whay we are talking about it yes! In a dive one might not have much, but I have not found information for or against it yet,other then the floating bit.

From what height would a stuka start a dive? And does anyone have a recording of the sirens that they used?

I don't have a recording, but they were called "Horns of Jericho". You might search for that.
