dougityb 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks Steve. I think I had an uncle, or a great uncle, who flew Lancasters in the war. I was told that he was deaf in his left ear because the prop was so near the cockpit. RE: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=12134791 Link to comment
diver1 0 Posted January 5, 2011 I wouldn't have trouble believing that, the cockpit glass on those planes are surprisingly paper thin and I'm sure there wasn't any kind of soundproof insulation in the fuselage either, it must have been very deafening. It's not the kind of story we usually hear about in documentaries but it must have been commonplace, thanks for sharing. Link to comment
