Re: Question about RAF 120 Coastal Command B-24D Liberator's

Thank you Graham, your reply is very much appreciated and clears up something I remember reading but couldn't place the detail.

I can only imagine what a 12-Gun set up would have been like, but I do wonder why such a specific aircraft wasn't at some point installed with the 57mm Cannon fitted to the Mosquito's?

Do you have any detail on the weight of the Depth-Charges carried and also, regarding Peter's reply below;

Automatic Machine; Browning 0.50 Calibre, (Type M2).
Martin Twin 0,50 Calibre, (Type_..A3B).
Automatic Machine; Browning 0.50 Calibre, (Type M2).
Consolidated Twin 0.50 Calibre, (Type CAC 5800. A-6).

could you explain how these would have been positioned in the aircraft, especially how many would have been in the pack mounted ahead of the Bomb-bay?

I assume there was a Twin in the Glass Nose, maybe two-twins in the pack ahead of the Bomb-Bay and then one tail mounted?

Again, sorry to be asking so-many questions but this is for a model a friend is working on (3D CGI) so detail would be of much benefit.

Cheers, Neil
