In 1943 and 1944, U.S. Navy warships faced a deadly anti-aircraft gap.
The 5-inch guns were powerful but slow against low, fast attackers.
The 20mm cannons fired quickly but lacked the stopping power to destroy modern aircraft — especially kamikazes.
Japanese pilots exploited the 2,000–4,000 yard kill zone.
Then came the 40mm Bofors.
Faster than the 5-inch guns.
Far more destructive than the 20mm.
Reliable under sustained combat.
From the Battle of the Philippine Sea to Okinawa, the 40mm Bofors transformed American naval air defense and saved countless ships from destruction.
This is the story of the weapon that closed the gap in the Pacific War.
