Synopsis
This book is the first of a trilogy describing the history of aircraft guns, their ammunition and installations in aircraft. The other two volumes (covering 1914-33 and 1945-2000+) will be published later.
It commences with a technical history covering the development of guns, ammunition (including the performance of explosive, incendiary and armour-piercing projectiles) and related issues such as mountings and sights. This is followed by chapters on aircraft installations covering all nations and an evaluation of their use in combat. Fighter, bomber and ground-attack installations are all described in detail.
Appendices include comprehensive tables of the gun installations of WW2 combat aircraft; data tables about the weapons and ammunition; illustrations of the guns used; projectile colour codes; and an assessment of the effectiveness of the various guns and armament installations.
There has never before been a comprehensive description of World War 2 aircraft gun armament, and 'Flying Guns: World War II' contains much information that has never before been published. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of aerial combat in this era.
