Re: Fixed forward firing 20 mm MG FF on Do 17

Hello Mikael
According to Price the Do 17Zs of 9./KG 76, it was a staffel specialized to low-level attacks, had 20mm Oerlikon cannon in place of the lower forward firing MG 15. As MG FF was a development of Oerlikon FF F, which itself was a development of the German WW I 20mm Becker cannon, I understand that Price means MG FF / MG FF/M and its placement seems to have been same as in 2./NJG 2 planes.
