Historical description

The Bofors 40 mm is one of the most recognizable anti-aircraft guns of the 20th century, used by the British Army and its allies from the 1930s to the 1950s. The main task of the gun was the air defense of land units and convoys. During World War II, it played a key role in protecting troops from air attacks in the European, African, and Far East campaigns. The specially designed artillery tractor allowed for the rapid movement of the gun together with its crew, increasing its battlefield mobility.
