Hi

I am looking for information about French Anti Aircraft Gun 90mm, mle39, made in Schneider. Info about ammunition 90x673R,
Poland had to buy 59 of these guns in 1940 and 1941.

Info from Axishistory:

Canon CA 90 mm Mle1939 (Schneider) – 9.0 cm Flak M39(f) -
Caliber : 90x673R mm
Barrel length : 4500 mm (3780 mm rifling)
Battle-station weight : 5760 kg
Rate of fire : 15 rpm
Muzzle velocity : 810 m/s (projectile of 9.5kg)
Traverse : 360°
Elevation : -4° to 80°
Maximum range : 11000 m
Used on the ground but mainly by the French navy, in single and twin mount. Five mobile batteries were deployed around Paris and had shells enabling them to be used in direct AT fire. Some were used in direct AT fire in North Africa initially against the landing US troops in November 1942.

Thanks
Regards
