Re: Ya Might As Well Make A Tojo Too!

Maybe someone can assist me with my failing memory, but I recall reading about a Japenese fighter that had a pair of "upward" firing cannons located behind the cockpit. The idea was to fly beneath the B-29s without having to confront the main armament of the bomber.

Towards the end of the war the Japanese emulated the German night fighter use of upward firing canno,installing such weapons in some of their twin-engined fighters---the Nick comes immediately to mind, but there were probably others.
