A cargo hatch, called the "Joe Hole," replaced the B-24's ball-turret, and parachutists, called "Joes," dropped through it. Special blisters for the pilot and copilot's windows allowed greater visibility, and blackout curtains replaced the waist guns. - https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact...

Zamiast gondoli karabinu maszynowego na spodzie maszyny, pozostawiono otwór przykrywany płytą wiórową (tzw. Joe hole), służący do zrzucania spadochroniarzy i pojemników z bronią, amunicją, materiałami wybuchowymi i innym sprzętem. Joe (Jane lub Josephine w przypadku kobiet) był potocznym kryptonimem agentów OSS (Office of Strategic Services) przerzucanych za linię wroga.
