@farmer6987 Sorry, but those were the official positions the Army Air Force gave those members. The top turret gunner in the B-25s on the Raid was also usually a designated flight engineer.
I was at this reunion too. It was amazing to be able to meet the Raiders. I am reading the book "Four Came Home", and DeShazer's story is amazing. Thanks for posting.
GREAT VIDEO! I loved the crawling across bombay door part. Soooo cool and unsuual!
Same with crawling side panel to the Norton bombadier sights (Norton? I think it was Norton. Correct me here please).
Only thing I would change is the beginning. The guy who talks about the way it was. You cut him off! Nooo! Either include his entire talk or don't include it at all.
Everything else was absolutely superb. The landing was awesome. Great job, happy dude!
woah, B-25 were tight in space
just a few questions:
what is the job for the guy behind the pilots?
what happened to the bombsight?
who's job was to release the bombs?

Most WWII bombers were actually pretty tight.
The person behind the pilots in the B-25 was the flight engineer / top turret gunner.
The bombsight? Well, it's not always carried in restored aircraft.
The bombardier's job was to drop the bombs...

@doolittleraid ok that may have been my point is they have no flight engineer panel as say the b-29.
