Hi Guys,
Does anybody have detailed information (preferably a drawing) on the turret guns used in the P-61?

Thanks

There are some information/pictures in the following books

Queen of the Midnight Skies by by Ronald C. Harrison
232-232

and...

U.S. Aerial Armament in World War II The Ultimate Look: Vol.1: Guns, Ammunition, and Turrets by William Wolf
Pg 219-210 (Some good info here and detailed photo of turret)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
