Re: Tracer ammunition in aerial weapons?

Hi Greg,
There were a few aircraft, both Hurricanes and Spitfires that were cannon armed during the Battle of Britain.
I know that 19 squadron with Spitfires and 151 Squadron with Hurricanes both had a few cannon armed aircraft. This was in the early stages of cannon development for these aircraft and both squadrons experienced difficulties with them.
Hope this helps
Gerry
