Flakbettungen with FFM
Re: Flakbettungen with FFM
In the book by Air War Italy 1944–45 by Nick Beale, Ferdinando D’Amico and Gabriele Valentini, there is a picture of a captured Browning gun from a crashed airplane reworked into a close defence weapon.

Hello Kurt
It’s not a MG 151/20, it’s a 2 cm FF/FFM !! A very interesting picture.
There is a drawing of this type of gun mount on page 165 in Anders Johansen’s book about Flugplatz Aalborg Ost (drawed by himself), but I have never seen a photo of one until now.
Seems to be identical with the type of Sockel used for Vierlings-MG 17.
Greetings
Lars

Hello Kurt
Nice picture. Seems to be a Vierlings-MG 17, but much simpler than the standard mount.
Maybe a field improvisation, or an early version?

I don't know if this "conversion" falls under the right category here...
