Cub Gunship

[MParson597]

I was researching a wing tank installation on my cub that occurred in 1952 and was later removed that used another aircraft’s 337 as the approved data. Thinking I might use the original 337 to support a re-install I obtained the referenced aircrafts FAA records for the original 337. I found what I needed but looked at all the 337’s. I was amazed to find this “gun mount” installation. It’s a fixed mount that allows the pilot to aim a shotgun. It includes provisions to restrict the movement from accidentally firing into the prop. There was a modified airworthiness certificate that provide for “necessary crew” for eagle hunting. Sportsmanship has certainly changed since 1948. Maybe ya’ll were aware of this but I never would have imagined a Cub gunship. Mark
