Thanks for the comparison. Guess I won’t be touring any B-25s. There’s actually one available for rides right next to my house at the Arlington Fly-In this weekend.

Forgot about the B-29 tunnel. Built a model as a kid that showed this feature. I guess claustrophobics need not apply. Or, just be the pilot. I doubt their duties required crawling through very often.

I also heard that P-47s had the most spacious fighter cockpit of the era. Some wag said you could warm yourself up by running around the seat.

B-25 isn’t all that bad. It is a much smaller aircraft, but it isn’t all that terrible to get through the tunnel. Just nearly lost my wallet, thankfully the Yankee Air Museum folks were kind enough to find it and not charge me. LOL.
