Down to the most minutest detail, the nose gunner's compartment is very accurately depicted. To see what I mean, stand in front of the aircraft so that the barrel of the nose gun is pointed directly at your face, and then look thru to the back wall of the compartment. Look closely. Yep, THAT'S exactly how a B-25 nose gunner decorated his "office" during WWII.
After I snapped a well-aimed photo into the compartment from in front of the gun barrel, I hung around a few minutes and when other guys came up to the front while viewing Pacific Princess, I suggested they stand straight in front of the barrel and then carefully look into the gunner's "nest." Of the 19 guys I spoke with, only two of them spied them. But when I pointed them out to each of the other 17, they ALL thought they made the perfect "finishing touch' to depict the way it really was with 100% accuracy. lolol In fact, after I pointed them out to one guy, he broke out laughing and told me that his grandfather had kept one of his even after the war and his son (the guy's dad) had found it after the grandfather had passed.
PS: To all on the list. My photo came out fine. I'll send it soon. (lol)
