<HTML>This brings up a question for me...
was there a \"maximum\" size for a U-Boat crewmember? I remember reading that Hermann G. couldn\'t get his butt past the cockpit coaming of the BF-109 he was given as a \"birthday present\", and I know that USAAF ball turret gunners had to be of slight build, but what about \"official\" guidelines?

at 6\' 4\" and (at that time, I\'m slimmer now) 295# I had no trouble getting through the USS Batfish. Didn\'t even bang my head on the overhead.....
