Just read;
Hero the Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia
By Michael Korda
Lawrence preferred these for their light weight and ease of use. It's a great book about a man that should be known for more than his exploits in the desert campaign during WW1.

They were also mounted on Spads, Sopwith's and such during WW I for aerial combat...cr8crshr/Bill

8888 is my buddies twin, my buddy has a ton of oddball guns and is even weirder. He liked my Bubba SKS, so he bought one with a bayonet, when we got to his house he ran out of the woods wearing a coolie and smok dressed like Charlie screaming "Diddi mou!" Or something.
Dude is hilarious

I heard the reason everybody had Lewis guns, even the Germans!, was that somebody at the War Department didn't like Mr. Lewis!
