3 or 6 cannons?

edit

The text says three twin cannon installations (a "turret", BTW, is a rotating housing holding guns; tail guns are almost never in turrets. It is not a synonym for flexible aircraft gun position, in spite of people using it widely to mean that). This would mean 6 cannon total. The specifications say "3 cannon in dorsal, ventral, and tail [installations]". Which is it? It is early enough to be one, and late enough to be the other. Single cannon were typical in WWII, but twin guns became the norm after the war. The B-36 had twin 20mm cannon installations, but it was a large aircraft. I can think of some others. Maybe it depended on which period the design was in, since it sounds like they puttered around with it for some years, and probably it saw a number of alterations.
