#5 Aerialists

I wonder if this drew much attention in a Super Marker parking lot?

I've seen many cannons &

even more photos of them

but NEVER saw anything

like this contraption

Dual axle makes it look

mighty heavy

Is this perhaps the same cannon as shown on a Sells Floto flatcar in a photo from around 1929? The shape of the shield is quite similar, and you can visualize the original cannon loaded on a flatbed truck and surrounded with a sheet-metal housing.

No John the cannon on that train car

had been the Leinert WW2 Big Bertha

I've gone through the tremendous list

of cannon images I have & none match
