Some would say that this crew position was the most dangerous. It was small and not easy to get out of. Other would say because it was small and because there was armor around the ball turret, it may have been the safest

My initial thought for this was names/meaning of names

so I search for the meaning of Collins:

1) A double diminutive of Nicholas (in England).

2) From cuilein, "darling," a term of endearment applied to young animals.

3) In the Welsh, Collen signifies hazel--a hazel-grove

4) The Gaelic version of the name COLLINS name is O' Coileáin, which means a young dog.

The quote that I remember the most and found was funniest was:

"For I had never in my life seen anyone pour a drink and I had no idea that people frequently diluted their liquor with water, soda, et cetera, and I had seen that the glasses the Berryman's guests were holding when I came through the living room were nearly full" (155).
