It's a sad site to see a "war bird" without is guns or armament. A few of the men of VAH-21 took it upon themselves to at least have some replications made of the 20mm tailguns used in the Neptune AP2H's flown by VAH-21. AZ3 Franklin H. Parker, had the tailguns duplicated as close to the originals as possible. He had a friend of his machine the barrels out of solid aluminum bar for weight purposes. He also made the suppressors out of aluminum exactly as the original that he got from Perry. Click below to see the installation of the 20mm tailguns and interior pictures of the last remaining AP2H Neptune from the squadron. This Lockheed AP-2H Neptune, BuNo 135620, is the last remaining example of its type. All photos taken by Perry Young unless otherwise noted.
