From: ran el-Yaniv <yaniv%shum.huji.ac.il@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> The most effective aircraft with a photo-electric activated weapon was the Henschel Hs 129. It had six 75mm smoothbore tubes aimed back and down. When the Hs 129 would pass over a tank, the tubes would fire automatically. Other weapons were fitted - from 20mm to 75mm cannons, machineguns and rockets. The Hs 129 was used mainly over the Eastern front. yaniv@shum.huji.ac.il
