Description

IWM caption : "Gun crews at work cleaning the single 120 mm QF Bofors M34/36 gun on board the Polish destroyer ORP BLYSKAWICA whilst she is in port."


The original caption above is wrong as for the gun's type. Most sources credit it as 102 mm (4 in) Mk V AA gun, however it is evidently 76 mm (3 in) AA gun in fact.
