Questions
On this page I have grouped a number of unanswered questions and
queries for information. If you have any information on these subjects,
please send me an e-mail.
- General call for pictures
For a new book about te history of aircraft armament, we are looking
for pictures of aircraft gun installations: Fixed guns, flexible guns,
turrets, sights, boresighting diagrams... Such pictures would be most
welcome. Of course credit for the pictures will be given in the book.
We can also pay for costs of duplication, mailing, etc.
- Grumman F9F with Aero nose turret
A single F9F is reported to have flow with an Aero 17B nose turret
containing four .50" guns. I am looking for details and pictures of
this unusual installation.
- Gebauer GKM
Does anyone have information on the Hungarian Danuvia-Gebauer GKM,
an engine-driven, synchronised gun? Reportedly used on Hungarian CR.32s,
the MAVAG Heja II, and maybe some other aircraft. There appear to have
been publications about this gun in Hungarian, but that is a language
I am wholly unfamiliar with.
- Document
Where can I get this: An Evaluation of Defensive Measures Taken to
Protect Heavy Bombers from Loss and Damage (published November 1944,
520.520a, AFHRA) ?
