OBS

Les mitrailleuses d'aviation sont des mitrailleuses légères, en principe, mais les calibres ont passé de 7,7 mm(1918) à 12,7 mm ou 13,2 mm. Leur nombre à bord des appareils a également considérablement augmenté : d'une seule mitrailleuse tirant à travers l'hélice (1915), il est passé à douze et même davantage depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Leur cadence atteignait alors 1 200 coups à la minute. Mais la mitrailleuse cède désormais sa place aux canons, lance-roquettes et missiles air-air.
