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)?

Curtis,I'll send you an e-mail attachment with a couple of pictures of the installation from Alan C. Carey's book "Consolidated-Vultee PB4Y-2 Privateer".

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