Do you think it would be possible to get him back in a B17?

I once fell off a barstool and immediately passed out.

fyi, my dad was a B17 guy.

he said it was NOT uncommon for guys to fall out the bomb bay doors-they would "jump up & down" on "stuck" bombs, until they were freed from the racks. sometimes the bombardier fell out too!
