Does anyone know the whereabouts of any surviving D-S 6 pounders? I have found one in a private collection (its for sale if anyone is interested) only. Just out of curiosity, Al, which naval aircraft was equipped with the 1894 Driggs-Schroeder 6-pounder? -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading.

Maybe the naval aircraft connection is that they were being shot AT. -- John shrug Miller My email address: domain, n4vu.com; username, jsm Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. |

The British had plans in 1916 to install a recoilless Davis 12-pounder gun and later a 12-pounder Naval Landing Gun in the Admiralty Type 1000, also known as the AD.1, to shell German ships from the air. It didn't work out. The French put a Hotchkiss 47mm cannon in the nose of a Tellier flying boat as an antisubmarine plane in 1920.

Then there are the 33-pounders [aka 105mm howitzer] used in some variants of "Puff the Magic Dragon" et seq. I wasn't being totally facetious. ;- -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast] |

Quite a few WW2 aircraft carried guns in the 6 pounder size range for anti shipping use, the DH Mosquito and B-25 both come to mind. The Mosquito carried the QF 6pdr Class M Mark I and as well as attacking German shipping downed at least one JU-88 ! The B-25H could carry a 75mm gun IRC. Keith |
