Subscribe to follow the full audio story of the tail gunner whose “crazy” mirror system turned desperation into one of the most effective field innovations of WWII.
This episode uncovers how a 22-year-old B-17 gunner, frustrated by terrible hit rates and losing friends in the sky, built an illegal mirror-assisted sight from scrap parts — and proved it in combat when FW-190s began to fall.
You’ll hear how commanders tried to shut it down, how gun-camera footage forced them to rethink everything, and how one outlaw modification quietly reshaped bomber survival.
