C-47 not undefenceless!
« Reply #15 on: May 08, 2006, 02:18:16 AM »
Thats out there, but still not that far.  I find it funny as soon as i leave brookyln everything changes completely.  Its nice but very different from what im used to.  My friend lives in east rockaway which isnt that far from brooklyn, i think its the first exit on the high way, and the its a HUGE difference.  20 minutes on the highway makes a difference.

Find a copy of C-47 Skytrain in Action by Larry Davis (Squadron-Signal).

Yep I was wrong about the windows, I would have sworn that the D-day c-47's didn't have them.

those were gatling guns, though a similar concept they were operated by hand and not with electric motors as the minigun are. also miniguns fire rifle ammunition wheras the gatling gun had calibres up to 1".
