Items related to British Aircraft Armament: Raf Guns and Gunsights from...
In the first volume of this book, the author provided a comprehensive survey of all the powered gun turrets ever designed for the RAF. Here he completes the two-volume reference work, giving a detailed history and description of the guns and gunsighting systems. Chronicles the guns and gunsights, from World War I when shotguns were discharged at German aviators, right through to today's sophisticated weapons and weapon-aiming systems such as ISIS, HUDs and NAVWASS. It also provides technical detail plus development histories, recording the ingenuity and drive of the designers concerned - British companies and Government establishments have been at the forefront of the development of gunsighting systems. Includes well-known types like the Lewis gun and gyro sight, but also the experimental types that never actually saw service. Features a wealth of photographs, many of them never before published, plus a number of the author's fine drawings.
