Halifax III Drawing

Sorry little hard to read but some may find it interesting on a Halifax III cutaway from the Halifax manual.

I'm curious about the 4x.303 turrets. Any records to indicate they were any more/less effective than a 2x.50?

Nice one Micdrow takes me back to the "Lion" comics of my youth, every week an new cutout drawing.


Thorlifter Similar debate on in

http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/tec...tml#post471061 (British Bomber Armament Question)

It was standard defensive armament in British bombers Wellingtons, Stirling, Halifax and Lancasters.

Later in the war twin .5 did replace the 4 x .303 in the rear turrets and they also appeared in the mid upper turrets as did 20mm canons.
