Paul Gunn Colonel Paul Irvin " Pappy " Gunn ( October 18 , 1899 - October 11 , 1957 ) was a former U . S . naval aviator known mainly for his actions in the Second World War as an officer in the United States Army Air Forces . He was known as " an expert in dare - devil low - level flying , " and recognized for numerous feats of heroism and mechanical ingenuity , especially modifications to the Douglas A - 20 Havoc light bomber and B - 25 Mitchell medium bomber that turned them into attack aircraft . Gunn was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross ( US ) with one Oak Leaf Cluster in 1942 for flying an unarmed , unarmored airplane into hostile airspace to bring medical supplies to the besieged troops on Bataan . In April 1942 he flew a B - 25 on the Royce Mission to the Philippines , a mission that was originally intended to bring relief to US forces on Bataan . When General George C . Kenney , the new commander of the allied air forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater , arrived in Australia in the summer of 1942 , he found Gunn in the process of converting the A - 20s of the 3rd Bombardment Group into strafers by adding four . 50 - caliber machine guns in the nose . When Gen Kenney learned that Gunn was using weapons from wrecked fighters , he was impressed by the man ' s innovative abilities , and immediately made him a member of his personal staff and placed him in charge of special projects . When the A - 20s proved highly successful in low - level strikes against Japanese shipping and ground targets , Gen Kenney gave Gunn the go - ahead to convert a squadron of B - 25s into strafers . Gunn ' s converted A - 20s and B - 25s played the major role in the Allied victory in the 1943 Battle of the Bismarck Sea . North American Aviation , the B - 25 ' s manufacturer , eventually began to incorporate variations of Gunn ' s armament innovations into later models of the B - 25 . The B - 25J , for example , was equipped with no less than 18 . 50 - caliber machine guns . These later model aircraft , which also included the heavily armed B - 25G and B - 25H , continued to wreak devastation on Japanese targets in New Guinea , the Philippines , and Okinawa until the end of the war . In addition to the DFC , Gunn was also awarded the Silver Star , Legion of Merit , Air Medal , 9 Purple Heart s , and WWII Victory Medal . Gunn died when his plane crashed in a storm over the Philippines on October 11 , 1957 killing all aboard .

Some of the guns were originally emplaced in " Panama Mounts " on Corregidor , Caballo and Carabao islands on the entrance of Manila Bay . A number of them were removed from their emplacements and used as " roving batteries " and gave effective counter battery fire . The gun was also mounted on a self - propelled mount as the M12 Gun Motor Carriage and saw action in 1944 - 45 . During World War II US guns were taken out of storage and utilised for coast defence of US and allied territories , such as Australia , typically on " Panama " mountings - the gun swivelling on a central concrete pillar with the split trails spread out on rails around the pillar . In 1940 France fielded 450 guns many of them used by the Germans for the rest of the war . In German service it was known as the 15 . 5 cm K 418 ( f ) where it served with heavy artillery battalions and on coastal defense duties . A battery of six of these guns were the cause of the actions at Pointe du Hoc .
