Great picture, dgaad. I think the fifties in the blisters were retained even when they went back to the bombadier's position. My reading suggests that these 75's would open fire around 2,000 yards and cease around 1,000 yards, firing three rounds, if all went well. The fifties would open up at 1,000 yards (with or without 75's on board) and cease at 500 yards. You can easily count the 14 machine guns. four in the nose, four in the blisters, 2 top turret, 2 tail, 1 port, 1 stbd waist; yup, 14 alright. I personally don't think I would feel too snug in a barge with this guy bearing down on me, armored or not. In addition to the horrific fire from the nose, the tail guns would fire directly down into the barge as the aircraft past over, climbing. Argh! Paul
