M1 Bofors 40mm AAA Platoon (LW)
(US541)
At the beginning of WWII the US army’s Anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) was the poor relation of the armed services. Much of their equipment was a mix of obsolete 3” guns and single barrel water-cooled .50 cal machine-guns. The success of the German army in 1939-40 cause the US army to re-evaluate much of its AAA equipment and capabilities. In 1943 the AAA regiments were split into separate battalions. AAA battalions were either gun (with M1 90mm AA gun) or automatic weapons (with initially the M1 37mm gun, but more likely the M1 40mm Bofors and the M51 or M55 quad-mount .50 calibre machine-gun). Some battalion were designated mobile and were equipped with tows and others self-propelled armed with M15/T28, M13 or M16 MGMCs.
