Here is a drawing of the top escape hatch.

Thought it was neat, and I'd share.

Dear Bill, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Of course, this was offset to the right of centerline for the B-17B, but moved so that the dome was centered on the B-17C and B-17D.
I'll bet ANYTHING that this assembly was the same on all 3 variants!

Nice one!!!

THANK YOU!!!
