1. Nose gunner never sat like that. I have never seen a seat mounted there, plus physically there is no space to put the feet like that!
I could not find any photo (among numerous pictures available) of that "Bomber/Navigator/Gunner" crew member sitting on the front of the "Liegeboden" (bench).
Though not totaly impossible, this sitting posture is very unlikely.






















































The most usual lay down position.





































The usual sitting position is on this folding "jump" seat.




































On this poor quality picture, crewmembers take up the "Liegeboden" and the "Klappsitz" (folding seat).
