Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Anti-Aircraft Guns: Compiled at the Army War College From the Latest Available Information; April, 1917 The Italians use the 75 mm. (3-inch) Deport gun for antiaircraft service. It has a maximum elevation of 85, and fires 21 shots a minute. Shrapnel is considered inefficient; the high explosive shells, which are much preferred, carry either a time or a detonating fuse. The incendiary shell, used with a time fuse, throws out, upon exploding, a number of small halls containing a very efficient burning liquid. Six-gun batteries have been substituted for the formerly adopted two-gun battery. The Italian Army in September, 1916, had 16 batteries (4 guns to a battery) of anti-aircraft guns mounted on automobiles. The gun, made by Ansaldo & Co., is of 102 mm. caliber. It is reported that the number of these guns has since been increased. Illustration No. 1 shows an Italian flat car armed with two anti-aircraft guns. The three heavy brackets (B) are used to brace the car against recoil when the guns are fired. Before firing they are swung out at right angles to the car on the side away from the gun direction and a heavy, threaded, steel rod is screwed down through the band (a) until its lower end presses firmly against a truncated pyramidal block (b), which is placed on the ground to receive it. To facilitate rapid adjustment a detachable wheel (c) is attached to the top of the screw rod. It is believed that these braces are used only in the case of firing the heavier (6-inch) guns. France. The main reliance of the French for defense against aircraft is their 75 mm. gun, model of 1897, which fires 25 shots a minute and has a recoil mechanism so perfect that it can be fired continuously without relaying. This gun is shown in illustrations 2, 3, 4, and 5, but the reports show that the mountings have been modified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book does for naval anti-aircraft defence what the author's Naval Firepower did for surface gunnery ÛÒ it makes a highly complex but historically crucial subject accessible to the layman. It chronicles the growing aerial threat from its inception in the First World War and the response of each of the major navies down to the end of the Second, highlighting in particular the widely underestimated danger from dive-bombing. Central to this discussion is an analysis of what effective AA fire-control required, and how well each navy's systems actually worked. It also takes in the weapons themselves, how they were placed on ships, and how this reflected the tactical concepts of naval AA defence. As would be expected from any Friedman book, it offers striking insights ÛÒ he argues, for example, that the Royal Navy, so often criticised for lack of 'air-mindedness', was actually the most alert to the threat, but that its systems were inadequate not because they were too primitive but because they tried to achieve too much.??The book summarises the experience of WW2, particularly in theatres where the aerial danger was greatest, and a concluding chapter looks at post-1945 developments that drew on wartime lessons. All important guns, directors and electronics are represented in close-up photos and drawings, and lengthy appendices detail their technical data. It is, simply, another superb contribution to naval technical history by its leading exponent.
