After seeing the youtube clips viewing a few pages online, the gunner in the turret must have been miserable with it being so cold and with so little space. Also knowing the fact that there was nothing but plexiglass to protect you in this vulnerable position from fighter plane bullets and bombs.
After reading background on Randall Jarrell, it is easy to see why he wrote about WWII. He wrote most of his poem during the time of the war. He also enlisted in the army air corps but did not become a pilot.
