Aerial Gunnery Simulator

This elevated fuselage-type simulator was used to train gunners how to fire from a B-29 at the Las Vegas Army Air Corps Gunnery School. The gunnery school was the nation's first school aimed at teaching men how to shoot from fast-moving aircraft for combat operations. (Historic photo from April 26, 1945,)
