Crusader AA Mk II/III

Description

A Crusader armed with twin Oerlikon 20 mm guns for anti-aircraft use. Mk III only differed from the Mk II by the position of the radio, which was moved to the hull in order to free some space inside the turret.

Due to Allied air superiority none of the AA versions saw much action against aircraft but a few – especially with the Polish Armoured Division – were used against ground targets.
