From your post:
"There were several incidents in which heavily damaged aircraft, such
as one Stirling which suffered a head-on collision with a
Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter over Hamburg, were able to continue
flying and safely return to base."
An impressive aircraft.
FWIW, the only entry way in that I see is the door in front of the tail...then I
guess it's a crawl or hunched walk up to the cockpit...and since it's a tail
dragger, the cockpit seats must be at least 17 or 18 feet up...considerably
higher than a B-17.
