Galleria fotografica di un Cannone antiaereo M2 da 90 mm, Il cannone americano da 90 mm servì come cannone antiaereo pesante e anticarro, svolgendo un ruolo simile al famoso cannone tedesco da 88 mm. Era il principale cannone antiaereo degli Stati Uniti da poco prima dell'apertura della seconda guerra mondiale nel 1950, quando la maggior parte dell'artiglieria antiaerea fu sostituita da sistemi missilistici guidati. Come cannone da carro armato, era l'arma principale del cacciacarri M36 e del carro armato M26 Pershing, oltre a un certo numero di carri armati del dopoguerra.

Le Cannone antiaereo M2 da 90 mm was a heavy artillery piece used by the United States Army during World War II and the Korean War. It was designed to shoot down enemy aircraft at high altitudes and long ranges, as well as to provide direct fire support against ground targets. The M2 had a maximum range of 17,823 meters and a maximum ceiling of 10,973 meters. It fired a 90mm shell that weighed 10.6 kilograms and had a muzzle velocity of 823 meters per second. The M2 was mounted on a four-wheeled carriage that could be towed by a truck or tractor. The gun had a crew of eight men and could fire up to 20 rounds per minute. The M2 was one of the most effective anti-aircraft guns of its time and was widely used by the US Army and its allies in various theaters of war. It was also adapted for use as a tank destroyer and an anti-tank gun, with different ammunition types and sights. The M2 was eventually replaced by the more advanced M3 90mm gun in the late 1950s.
