    A number of B-24 Liberators of RAF Coastal Command used for ASW were fitted with a chin-pack containing 4x 20mm cannon

    I'd like to see that, Redcoat. Do you (or anyone else) have a picture of it.

    Devilish sounding.

    Somehow, by reading this thread the picture of "Puff the Magic Dragon" plane in Vietnam popped up in my head.
    I had a nice laugh on the heavily modified B-17 pic, though. Great pic!

    Yup. One of my favorites. Three 7.62 mm General Electric miniguns. Of course alot smaller and lighter then the 20mm or 30mm versions.
