Re: Me110: Ill-used in BoB
Hello George
IMHO in Andy's photo WO/AG sits on his normal seat, ie on the rear one. It was rotaring or swinging seat, whatever is the right term in English. The same system was in many a/c with WO/AG so that he could use radio when facing forward and his mg when facing backwards. The forward WO/AG seat is a rarity, maybe because in early Bf 110s WO/AG must also reload MG FFs with new magazines he needed more space and could not reach radio controls from his gunner position he needed separate seat for WO work.
