RCS, does the vehicle marking in the background say 'Co A 108th Engineers'?

I had heard a rumour that general electrics had a gatling minigun (Electrically driven) almost ready by wars end it may have not been an Aerospace weapon but would have certainly been a battle changer.

GE's own post -war book about all their contributions to the war effort has no mention of this nor have I heard this in any mini-gun literature.

Research shows the electric mini or Gatling gun was designed in 1960.

Bob, you have the family line wrong.
First Spookie - 120
Then Shadow - 116
And then Spectre - 116
I witnessed a fully loaded AC-119 crash on fire into a rice paddy one night. Not a good memory that one.

Actually Dr. Gatling's electric-powered design received a U.S. Patent #502,185 on July 25, 1893. The idea has been around for a while.
