i didn't read the link yet as it's pretty late..but it's bookmarked for later reading......

 read a book called combat crew by john comer.....he was a top turret gunner on a 17......if i recall, the average alts were in the mid 20's....i think they said 27 to 28k was high alt...and something like -60F too..........

awsome people that did what they did for the rest of us

This is great.  Thanks for posting the link.

Man, I'd love to see a picture of the plane after it landed on mission #5.
