Re: Did the remote mechanical controls on the B29's defensive armament work well?
I read the analog computers that accomplished all of these fire control calculations, after the B-29s were retired, were placed in the B-47 to operate the 2-20MM cannons located in the tail turret. The gunner was the co-pilot. He would turn his seat 180 degrees facing the rear of the aircraft and had at his command a “Turret Radar System” that he could “lock-on” to an attacking aircraft.
