VMB-613's PBJ-1H

Only VMB-613 PBJs were fully fitted with the cannon and it was used against enemy installations in the Central Pacific. Had the aircraft and their crews been given the opportunity to engage the enemy at close quarter, such as VMB-611 had been given, the true effectiveness would have been impressive.
