Just read that we had a delivery of Bell P-39 "Aircobra".....flew them in 1941.
First combat mission was hitting some barges in Holland.

After that we used them for training until some mod's were carried out.

Logistics.  The British had decided in 1938 that heavier guns were going to be needed, but that going to HMGs was not enough of an increase and would, at best, be a stopgap measure.  They decided to skip over the HMGs and go straight to 20mm cannons.

Ahhh, I was talkin more like the set of 20mm Cannon and the 4 12.7mm. That would have been just ridiculous lol!

The four 12.7mm guns were in place of the eight .303 guns on the RAF Hurricane Mk Is.  Had the RAF used the four 12.7mm gunned Hurricane Mk I (and I agree it was a superior armament over the eight .303s) the 12.7mm guns would all have been replaced by the four 20mm cannon when they went to the Hurricane Mk IIc.
