Re: Fighter ammunition
Nonny
the breeches of Beau's 20mm were under floor rather long way behind the pilot and rather near the navicator's post, so the navigator didn't need to squeeze past the pilot in order to reload the Hispanos. But the reloading wasn't easy especially if the Beau was twisting. So anyway the belt loading made the life much easier to Beau navigators. Juha
