Description Quad 40s Anti-Aircraft: IThe Bofors 40mm gun originated as a German Krupp design in 1918. The WW 2 40mm was manufactured by the Bofors Company in Sweden which, quite literally hand built and fitted each weapon. The 40mm was the Navy's standard intermediate range anti-aircraft weapon throughout WW 2, the Mk IV quad mount being extremely effective. The 40mm was used post-war until fast-moving jet aircraft became commonplace.
