This is EXACTLY what is to be expected when you let a nav draw up the siting plans for the station gate-guardian: 90-degrees out as usual.

Good plan, but the ladder for the waist gunner was way too short

The Captain, explaining about the sudden onset of excess Gravity, opined the result was his inability to control the Nose pitching down as all the of iron bits entered the force field.

Later investigation determined the Tail Gunner's Girl Friend walked forward to use the Loo located just behind the cockpit.

After their merger with Consolidated Aircraft Vultee's engineers considered the B 24 as a replacement for the Vengeance. A single trial bombing run proved its unsuitability. However some good came from this idea as the B 36's engines were repositioned to avoid further embarrassments with late pull ups.

Thank you JB. As I just had a go within the last couple of captions, with your concurrence, I am more than happy to issue divert instructions to the drone for CST delivery to Wensleydale. Let's share the love!
