Adrian McGrath comments:
“The thing to note in this photo is their jackets. They are very warm, as you can see. This is because it gets frigid at high altitudes, 30,000 feet. And the B17 is not a pressurized cabin. It is open to the air, especially in the middle of the plane where the waist gunners are.”
