Talking Re: Legion Condor Ju 52 with forward firing MG(s)

There are an excelent front view photo showing both guns mounted with its streamlined fairings in the highly recommended book:

Eagle's Wings

The Autobiography of a Luftwaffe Pilot,
Hajo Herrmann
1991 Motorbooks, 266p.
ISBN: 0-87938-522-7

The explanation given in the book, is for avoiding the frontal attacks from the Red 'ratas' I-16.

Fran
