A whole lotta things to do, to get that bird in the air, I wonder how many modern pilots could start it?
 
Dude... we're talking "greatest generation" here. This guy shoots bullets out of his C*ck; and he doesn't give a damn if anyone thinks his wink looks gay.
 
I'd much prefer that this thread does not degenerate into whether someone was effeminate appearing or not. I find this stuff interesting.

Here's another. Testing a mockup of the gun controls in a B-29 resto at Seattle. These were an early form of analog computer and were supposed to be able to compute windage and lead. The sighting device in the operator's hands is what was in the bubble, the actual gun turrets were not manned
