Here's a question I ought to know the answer to, but don't!
As a generalisation, standard Bomber Command 'heavy' crew composition (101 Sqn excepted) was:
Rear gunner
Mid/upper gunner
Radio Operator
Navigator
Flt Eng
Pilot
Bomb aimer/front gunner.
Many Lancaster Mk IIs and later Halifaxes were equipped with under defence armament (FN64 and Preston-Green positions respectively); my question is: who manned these positions, or was the crew increased to 8?
