Summary
Thanking him for his letter of July 18 and the concerns he raised with regard to the airplane gunner; detailing how the specific concerns have been addressed; explaining why the larger issue of claustrophobia in the turrets is one that is "in fact everywhere in the Service" but adding that they have "increased the armament on turrets and the airplane today is far better protected than several months ago."
