Carrying on the night firing theme. M2 tank which had a fearsomely spectacular battery of fairly useless machine guns.

Unless you happened to be the poor bastards on the receiving end that were caught without benefit of cover!

True but going up against a Panzer III would you rather have a load of .30 Brownings or a 75mm gun.

Many tanks in the days of the M2 were designed as infantry support. So it gave an advancing squad additional firepower from a mobile fire-pit...

The M2 light tank actually proved very useful in the Pacific in places like Guadalcanal

I'm surprised how rock-steady those airplanes in the pictures are with their full batteries firing away...

Keeping the flak at night going, because why not, U.S. Army flak tracers light up the night over Algiers.

That is an incredible photo and the story behind that is Marine AA fire during a Japanese attack; Yontan, Okinawa in Arpril 1945. The Corsairs in the foreground are from "Hell's Belles" VMF-311.

Thanks Dave. Very big cojones just to even start thinking about going through that. I think there is 5sq.ft. of opening in the top center.
