I`ve been looking for information about French 90 mm Schneider AA guns, which were planned to be used in Polish Army thanks to the "Rambouliet credit". Polish aim was to buy about 60 pieces of 90 mm guns in France plus license agreement.
Can any of You support me with information and photos ? Maybe someone needs blueprints of this gun or another information about Levallois devices for AA artiller in exchange ?

Do we know today what kind of tractor was set to tow this gun ? I found an information that it was the Latil TARH2 model.
Undoubtedly some predictor, rangefinder (5m ?) etc. were related to 90mm batteries. Does anybody know what kind of equipment was that ?

Hello,

The photograph posted by Jopaerya in december 2017 (gun in the Gironde in 1944-45) is not a 90 mm CA modèle 1939 but a 90 mm CA modèle 1932 of the french Navy.
In 1940, the french Navy had 32 of these guns in 8 "batteries mobiles de DCA de côte". These guns had SOMUA half-tracked tractors. In 1940, 4 batteries were used in Paris, 1 at Dunkerque, 3 batteries were in North Africa (5 guns taken from these batteries were used later in Gironde in 1944-1945).
6 more guns were in building for the West African "Colonies".
The gun 90 mm CA modèle 1932 built by Schneider is the predecessor of the 90 mm modèle 1939 and had the same ballistic characteristics.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.
