Most people don't realize how young WWII air crew were. When you get inside a B-17, you also realize how thin they were too! The catwalk through the bomb bay is about 8" wide! 
Congratulations to your dad for making it to 35 missions. That was the point at which you could rotate home and a lot of guys didn't make it.
