Enlightenment writes However I still suspect that a simple rear gunner lieing in the prone position could be built not to reduce speed too much. I guess it puts a lot of weight (the gunner) very far back, which would probably have large effects on handling. Just fixed guns with lots of tracer might be effective, especially as a tail chase was quite likely. The ultimate gunnery system in WWII, particularly for night ops was probably the radar guided system used on some Lancasters (Village Inn perhaps?). Whether this could have been incorporated into a small tail turret remotely controlled from the cockpit is another question. -- John |
