Armament of AT-6 Texan in anti-submarine role?
I notice that several Latin American countries received armed AT-6 Texans and they tended to use them on inshore patrol activities against U-boats.
However, I have only seen reference to AT-6 Texans carrying conventional bombs. But was the AT-6 Texan ever equipped to carry depth bombs?
The depth bombs used by the OS2U Kingfisher on inshore patrolling were 325lbs, so I imagine that one such bomb was probably the maximum practicable for an AT-6 Texan.
But were they ever fitted or carried?
Many thanks,
Sid.
