Looking for pictures of aircraft guns and ammunition that would be used in the site. Also picture of turret assemblies would be useful as well.

Are these military type manuals?

And at someones suggestion I ordered Flying Guns of World War II by Gustin Emmanuel so hopefully that will cover the data part though military manuals would of course be welcomed for the research library and the online library. Also, pictures of guns and especially ammunition are still needed.

Yes. Not sure how much aircraft stuff I have, but I definitely have lots of ground gun stuff. I also have a manual of artillery and ammunition.
