Dutch TL-1 Oerlikon 20mm AA gun

 

 Dutch TL-1 Oerlikon 20mm


TL 1 was the Dutch name for the Oerlikon 20mm light anti-aircraft canon. The single barrel Oerlikon was a fine anti-aircraft gun and was excellent in providing cover from low flying aircraft up to 1800m. The Dutch army place an order for these weapons in 1939 and 170 were delivered before the war started, these were issued to light anti-aircraft companies located in infantry divisions and reserve formations.





The gun and miniatures are from Early War Miniatures.
