Nacho,
I am not aware of any fixed guns being reloadable by the pilot in the air.
Observer guns were quite different. The standard allied gun was the Lewis with changable magazines and the standard German gun was the Parabellum which had belts on changeale spool magazines. I know that the ground version of the MG 08/15 had a provision for detachable drum magazines, but I don't believe that they were used in the air.
Regards,
John
