Lombard gun claims and Japan weapon noted in 1918
The Lombard gun allegedly pierced 44 inch steel at 100 feet in 1918 and offered greater power than Japan's device. A layman would compare its shape to a sausage-filled copper. Ovington, linked to Lombard's demonstrations, runs the Banta Barabata air terminal and was an early American air mail pilot. He helped Lombard publicize the invention and later worked on related electrical apparatus.
