PB4Y-2, 20MM Cannon Instalation.

Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:48 am

I'm looking for pictures of the two"externally fixed, forward-firing," 20MM cannons installed on some VPB-108 and VPB-121 Privateers during WWII. I've read about them and their effectiveness, but I have never seen a picture. Who has a shot of this (Jack)?

Years ago I built a PB4Y-1 with a P-39 37mm cannon field mod in the nose. :twisted:
