Default Curtiss A-12 Shrike pics [16/21] - File 1 of 2 - Divebombing view.jpeg (1/1) - C-Model gunship.jpg

In article , john Szalay
says...



Back in the day when I was in flight school, I was given a two week gunship
course at Ft Rucker. The C-Model gunship had a 40mm cannon in the chin area.

When firing while in a dive, the ship had to be in perfect trim...if you were
slightly yawed to the right the round went down and to the right...if yawed
left, it went up and to the left. The final result was always the same...you
missed the target...by alot!

It was caused by the spin of the round hitting the slip-stream in just the wrong
way.
