A-20G Nose Guns
The forward nose cone is eased forward so that ground crew can clean the forward gun packs, whilst other crew load belts of 50 caliber ammunition into this 417th Bombardment Group A-20G in the Philippines. The main problem with the aircraft's nose guns centered around the electrical system. If the solenoids were playing up the guns didn't fire - that was that.
