And Milo, even if that drawing says MG 151/20 I think they must have gotten sloppy and drawn the gun AND the propeller shaft/blast tube. The weapon wasn't nearly that long.


MG151/20 installation in 109F-4:

MG151/20 installed post-war in a French Piasecki H-21 helicopter:

Fitting a MG 151/20 or two in the cowl of a 109 doesn't look that far fetched after all.

The rest of the thread was deleted. It was 3-4 pages.
