HOT DA## let's shoot some .50's FROM A BALL TURRET

I've posted this before, I sorta have a "thing" for turrets. My gramps when I was really young, had a Crocker-Wheeler top trainer turret that would have been installed in a Beech twin 18 (AT-11). Later Dad got it and mounted it on the well head for the grandkids. At some point I had talked with some of the crew associated with warbirds when there were at Geiger (Spokane) and they went over and bought it from Dad for 500. They stole it. It had only been outdoors for a very few years, and the plexiglas was just like new
