N.O.S. Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 An almost empty producer / town gas bag maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike65 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 GAs bag would have been my initial thought but it does not seem to look quite right for a collabsed bag. Just looks way to neat, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willyslancs Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 This is the caption for the pic... "On July 12, 1943, Sgt. Maynard H. Smith was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by Secretary of War Henry Stimson. He is the only ball turret gunner in history to win the nation's highest decoration. Sergeant "Snuffy" Smith was in the 423rd Bombardment Squadron, 306th Bomber Group" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Some sort of cushioning / protection to save a gas bag from damaging itself on something sharp on the roof? Maybe the gas bag was removed when petrol became available but the "lagging" didn't get removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
