Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Anti-Aircraft Guns: Compiled at the Army War College From the Latest Available Information; April, 1917
The Italians use the 75 mm. (3-inch) Deport gun for anti aircraft service. It has a maximum elevation of and fires 21 shots a minute. Shrapnel is considered inefficient; the high explosive shells, which are much preferred, carry either a time or a detonating fuse. The incendiary shell, used with a time fuse, throws out, upon exploding, a number of small balls con taining a very efficient burning liquid. Six-gun batteries have been substituted for the formerly adopted two-gun battery.
