Quad 50 In Europe; Circa 1944

a quad 50 (or M51) in Europe, during World War 2; My father, Virgil Simpson, was a cannoneer, then the gunner, on this anti-aircraft weapon. This quad 50 was trailer mounted and hitched to a truck, whenever it was moved to different location. The four .50 caliber guns, electrically operated, were mounted on a turret and could be moved both up and down and side to side.
