.50 cal AA MG with crew?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hi

Still continuing in my search for ship fittings, does anyone have a picture of WW2 American - A22 - .50 cal AA MG with crew

or later version

or can anyone tell me if it resembles the Flame of War type?



Cheers

I dont have a picture but it is the same weapon as the FoW one, the crewman is manning the gun.

Hello jon/ciaphas

Exactly what I was after, thank you.

Looks like I know what I'll play with on my Zhong Shan. Probably a head swap and a naval rig collar.

Cheers

If you watch Tora Tora Tora there's a whole scene in which a crewman on one of the American battleships downs a Japanese torpedo-bomber with one of these. The weapon appears to have a strap that goes around the operator's body and allows him to lean back and elevate or rotate the gun.

Cant check but - Battleship Design and development by Norman Plomar, and Allied Escort Weapons - no idea who its by should have pictures.
