	The most effective aircraft with a photo-electric activated weapon
was the Henschel Hs 129. It had six 75mm smoothbore tubes aimed back and
down. When the Hs 129 would pass over a tank, the tubes would fire
automatically.

	Other weapons were fitted - from 20mm to 75mm cannons, machineguns
and rockets.

	The Hs 129 was used mainly over the Eastern front.
