Wallace Clarke Scarce OOP! Excellent book covering gun / gunsight development! Profusely illustrated with exhaustive text - essential reference book for aviation enthusiasts and model makers. Completes the study begun by the author in volume 1. This book is generally hard to find and can command huge prices on bookseller websites! (from the dust jacket) In the first volume of this book, the author provided a comprehensive survey of all the powered gun turrets ever designed for the RAF. Here he completes the two-volume reference work, giving a detailed history and description of the guns and gun sighting systems. Chronicles the guns and gunsights, from World War I when shotguns were discharged at German aviators, right through to today's sophisticated weapons and weapon-aiming systems such as ISIS, HUDs and NAVWASS. It also provides technical detail plus development histories, recording the ingenuity and drive of the designers concerned - British companies and Government establishments
