Description

From the Dayton Daily News: "In Isolated Splendor, Gunner Sargent Ralph Howland sits in tail of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base-bound B-52 intercontinental bomber, which carries armament only in the tail. In a B-52, only nose and tail compartments are pressurized; Its bomb bay area is not. Sargent Howland wears the helmet and oxygen mask required by all crewmen for high flights."
