Not the most elegant mounting.

Ouch.  8/.50 cals and dual 20mm Hispanos???  Wow, just wow.  Any info on service strength?  Did it see combat?   ;)

I bet it would handle like it was carrying 2/1k bombs.  Not bad if it had the E.

Perhaps the perfect destroyer destroyer?

Probably a field mod.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be very good for air to air. Was probably a air to ground modification for strafing airfields and collumns of vehicles and stuff like that. If its anything like the pylon mounted gatling guns on the Phantom II in Vietnam it has a built in spray pattern to make it more effective vs. ground targets, but terrible in the air.

That would be like having the gondolas on the 109.  They wouldn't be worth it for air-to-air work.

Before you guys wet yourselves, it was an experimental installation tried in August 1944 and discarded due to excessive vibration.

LOL poor guys having to survive with only 8 50s and all those rounds in your Jugs :)

More to the point, that's a hell of a link.

WWII sub patrol reports? For free? MACRs? For free?


This may take several weeks...

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
