Explore one of the most claustrophobic and dangerous positions in military history: the Sperry Ball Turret of the B-17 Flying Fortress. This video dives deep into the engineering marvels and the brutal realities faced by the gunners who manned them.
From the complex entry procedure at 10,000 feet to the freezing -50°F temperatures and the "analog computer" gunsight that cost a quarter of a million dollars, we uncover why this small glass sphere was both a masterpiece of engineering and a death trap. We also examine the "Survivor Bias" behind its safety statistics and how aerial defense evolved from manned turrets to autonomous systems.
