The fact is that the USN did not
switch to 20mm during WWII, ahead of the USAAF, as Paul stated with
his "difference between the Pacific and Euro theaters" comment.


How come the F8F Bearcat was designed and built with four 20mm guns,
then?


The original F8F-1 was armed with 4 x .50 cal mgs. The 20mm cannon were
introduced with the F8F-1B models.


Cheers,
