I am hoping!

But, I also hope for J2M3 Raiden, D4Y Susei, B6N Tenzan and Ki.44 Shoki.

Francillon's book says "a few" Ic's were produced. I would rather see the Ib as it would have a little more punch than the Ia.

If you're referring to Francillon then I'm not too surprised. I know someone who's being giving him earache for years over the gun question!

Incidentally, I find it fascinating to track the way in which mistakes are made and repeated, even in prestigious books. Mason's "The British Fighter" - THE reference work on the subject - has a photo of a Hurricane with the first experimental 20mm Hispano installation (two guns in underwing pods) and identifies them as Oerlikons. He didn't reply to my letter, either...
