B-17E 'Swamp Ghost' Machine Guns

Radio Compartment Machine Gun
 This machine gun was recovered from its stowed position in the radio room of B-17E 41-2446 (aka 'The Swamp Ghost'). It was removed in the early 1970's by Australian survey team, and donated to the PNG Museum. Thanks to Bruce Hoy for this information, and Michael Claringbould for the photographs of the gun in March 2004. Photos of radio compartment today by Justin Taylan, 2003.
