![]() What was the timetable for British development for their 20 mm cannon ammuniation during WW2? I'm aware that RAF tried to install first cannons to Spit Is but this was initially a failure. Early Spit V models were introduced with 60 round supply to the Hispanos, later with 120 rounds per gun. Some of the documents I've seen showed, that RAF had severe problems in 1941 maybe even during 1942 with HE ammo, which had tendency to explode in the barrel. Until HE was perfected (42?) I presume the cannons primarily used the Ball ammuniation? What is the actual timetable for introduction of various British cannon ammuniation types for squadron service? Ball from the start, AP, HE, API etc later? jok |
