Kawasaki Ki-48 "Lily" #2

Two more photos today from the same vintage magazine, dated April 1, 1942, featuring "Lilys" over Burma. Of interest is the very rare view of the Type 89 (special) twin machine gun operated by the dorsal gunner.

Another view of a different type of double-barreled dorsal MG, with a saddle type mag

Same MG, same wreck, but in stowed position.
