EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned British illustrator G.H. Davis in 1940, showcases a selection of aeroplane shell guns that emerged as effective answers to the threat of armored tanks during the Second World War. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, highlights two notable gun types: the Hispano-Suiza moteur-canon and the American 37mm gun. The Hispano-Suiza moteur-canon, displayed prominently in the foreground, was a French innovation that combined a machine gun and a cannon into one weapon system. This gun-motor unit was mounted directly onto the wings of fighter aircraft, enabling pilots to engage both enemy planes and ground targets with devastating effect. The French military found the Hispano-Suiza moteur-canon particularly effective in knocking out tanks, showcasing its versatility and importance in the evolving battlefield. In the background of the photograph, the American 37mm gun is depicted. This powerful weapon, soon to be available to the Allies, was a significant addition to the arsenal of the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Corps. With its impressive firing rate and penetrating power, the 37mm gun was expected to provide a much-needed boost in the fight against the Axis powers. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of military engineers and designers during the Second World War, as they sought to develop increasingly effective weapons to counter the ever-evolving threats on the battlefield.
