Did mechanics fly on board the B-24 bombers?

No, mechanics did not fly on board the B-24 bombers. The crew of a B-24 consisted of ten men: a pilot, co-pilot, navigator, bombardier, flight engineer, radio operator, three gunners, and a tail gunner. Mechanics were not part of the flight crew and remained on the ground to perform maintenance and repairs on the aircraft.
