KEEP THOSE WEAPONS CLEAN!

The ground crew had to maintain the weapons,
as well as engine performance.
Boresighting and adjustment was always needed
due to vibration from the firing and the
engine itself.
The machine guns mounted on the upper
fuselage with their synchronization gear
needed to be serviced as well.

The propeller pitch mechanism as well as all
necessary components were serviced daily
the survival of the pilots depended upon it.
