Hi Ross,

When you state Siemens machine guns, what exactly are you talking about?

I know there were some experimental Siemens machine guns, but I didn't know any made it on to field aircraft. When one speaks of German fighter aircraft guns they are normally referring to Spandau Arsenal LMG Maxims. I know there must be some source for people saying Siemens made in quantity fighter aircraft guns, but I've never seen proof of it. Just wondering where your source for it is from?

Thanks for the insight into this old time dilemma.

Best,
Dave W.
