The German 88mm so well known by the British VIII Army in North Africa in 1941-42 was an Fliegerabwehrkanonne in WWI. Blue skies, Dan-San |

Dan-san---the WWII "88" was a different gun from the WWI model. The later one was a semi-automatic, with the breech opened by the recoil of the barrel. The earlier gun was hand operated, and it had less velocity, and thus less range.
