Re: Why does He 177 have two nose gun positions?
The crew of a He177 was Pilot, Observer ( navigator and bomb aimer), Radio/op. Air Mechanic, mid-upper gunner and tail gunner. As far as I know the Rad/op. also controlled the remote upper turret, the Obs. the MG81 in the upper front canopy, and the Air.Mech the foward firing MG151 in the lower gondala or the rearward MG131 also in the lower gondala. Perhaps someone could confirm or amend if this is not correct,
