Re: Development of the DB601A Engine mounted gun.
Thank You Sidney. Do you know if there were any prototype installations? The requirement for the engine to have the attachment point for the gun mounting and the blast tube through to the propeller seems to have been an important design factor from the early DB600, through the 601A/N and finally fitted with a gun, the MG151, on the DB601E.
It is interesting that many modern sources cite the fitment of these weapons, going into the detail of "problems with vibration and heat"? Beyond that I can find no details.
Thanks again,
SM
