I went for a ride in it a few years ago. What a trip! It's 10 times
more intense than a roadster. You wouldn't expect something that big to
pull
a G load like it does. The body skin isn't much thicker than a soda can,
and
some of the panel gaps are big enough to stick your fingers in, but they
did
what they needed to do!
My father flew in one in WWII. His plane was shot down over Holland.
Dad was usually the nose gunner, but switched places with the waist
gunner
that day. The guy in the nose didn't make it out.
