Re: USAAF Shotgun adapter
Ed,
The book 'British Aircraft Armament Vol 1' by R. Wallace Clark shows a picture (American Aircraft Gun Turrets page 170) of a Martin turret adapted to mount two 12-bore shotguns. Gunners practised traversing and turret manipulation by firing at clay pigeons ! Regards, Paul
