Real Mens Guns....

From the days when you flew the plane, fired the guns, and unblocked them when they jammed.   All behind the safety of your ply or fabric cockpit side.   Fokker DR1

Or in the case of the Bristol Fighter, considered to be one of the finest Aircraft to come out of WW1, they fitted a Lewis Gun on a Scarf ring to take the weight and gave the pilot some crew to use it.

Two variations on a theme.

Nice picture of the Bristol Fighter, my favourite WW1 aeroplane (lovely noise, or purr...). Not too sure about the scary man in the back seat though...

reminds me of Idiana Jones and the last crusade. Just might be Sean Connery, ready to plunk the tail away with that machinegun ...
