Crusader III Mk II AA
$1.29 – $19.99
Description
A Crusader armed with twin Oerlikon 20 mm guns for anti-aircraft use and a single .303 (7.7 mm) Vickers GO machine gun. The turret was a small polygonal turret with heavy armour, but poor situational visibility for spotting approaching aircraft. The Mk III only differed from the Mk II by the position of the radio, which was moved to the hull in order to free some space inside the turret.
Crusader AA tank variant mounting a triple Oerlikon gun in a hull-down position, 19 July 1944
A variation with triple Oerlikons was produced in very limited quantities but seem to have been used only for training.
Due to Allied air superiority over the battlefields of north-west Europe, none of the AA versions saw much action against aircraft but a few – especially with the 1st Polish Armoured Division – were used against ground targets. The AA troops – attached to HQ squadrons – were disbanded after the Normandy landings.
