Outstanding once again Attilio; Bravo! I did not know that these early
AA Guns could shoot this fast, and that they were able to track the target continuously while shooting. Fascinating.
The shell must have been set to explode either at a specific altitude or after a specific time. Either way, it required very good input (estimates of altitude or projectile flight-time) and also the fastest possible speed to set the shell, load it and fire it including flight-time-to-target before the target changed altitude.
Sort-of an approximate thing I am sure. But, I'm equally sure that some
AA gun teams were much better than others at doing this.
