Ball turret for sale

Post by 17f »

The other night I remembered something I saw in an issue of Military Vehicles Magazine (October 2005; issue #111) a number of years back. There was an ad in the classified section for a Sperry A-13A ball turret. Location given was Kansas City. Anybody know where this turret came from and where it wound up?

Hmmm.... Are those B-24 locator pins in the ring?

Not sure on the pins. The scan gets too grainy and the actual pic in the magazine is maybe an inch and a hlf wide, too small to see.

I have heard that possibly Don Brokks got this and tucked it away. Can anyone back that up by chance?

Well, it sure looks like the one in the hanger, but I'm not sure where ours came from...
