Those ball turrets were death traps for gunners. Subsequent plane designs removed them. Not only were ball turrets ineffective at defending the plane but there weren't safe for the gunner to even use.

Love all the WWII training films, but could not help laughing at 9:30 as the crewman waddles toward his aircraft. He walks like an Obama supporter.

There must've been so many mistakes and accidental shootings of training planes in that school.

This was a time when America was great. Americans had moral fortitude with courage and spirit to match. We saved the world and went on to create the greatest technological and economic achievements mankind has ever seen. Since then, greed, corruption, and societal and cultural decline has eroded the fabric of the country and brought us to our knees. If Hillary is elected and society is left to degenerate from the once great American norms, the end of America is inevitable.

Why did men wear their pants up around their navel back then? I have photos of my father from the the 1950's with his pants up like the narrator.

This film makes you realize what a grim business is war. Like the guys says, "this won't be make-believe" because there is a real war to fight. I just wonder how much defensive fire ever did to an intercepting fighter doing anything besides flying at 6 o'clock level.

Malditos gringos; los rusos fueron los que terminaron con la guerra y no ustedes maricones!🔫

And you (ignorants)will die for us(elites) so that we can live off your & your familys "sacrafice". Kissinger said; "the most stupid people he ever met were soldiers willing to die for a concept called country that exists nowhere else but in their minds".

My grandfather did his training in Colorado Springs at Peterson and was a waist gunner for a B-24. This is really cool to see how he was trained. In his flight crew, only one gunner ever actually hit an incoming fighter during the whole combat tour. It was the tail gunner. Everyone else was totally ineffective. So, perhaps this training wasn't as useful as the video makes it look.
