QF 3-in 20cwt Mk.III Anti-aircraft Gun

The first British PL gun developed in 1918. It was either in a fixed firing position (as in the museum shots) or mounted on a Peerless truck chassis. Earlier versions had a semi-automatic breech. The gun was also adopted into the Navy's armament. It was used in the PL defence of Britain throughout WW2.

Upresním údaj uvedený v úvode - QF 3-in 20cwt je skutočne prvé Britské protilietadlové delo, ale jeho zavedenie do výzbroje bolo podstatne skoršie ako v roku 1918. QF 3-in 20cwt je vo výzbroji od roku 1914. Od roku 1918 môže byť vo výzbroji verzia Mk. III (oto ale nemám zatiaľ overené), ale táto verzia už nie je prvé Britské protilietadlové delo.......
