Yes.


The sole remaining Irving was restored at NASM, completed in 1983 after more than 17,000 man hours of work.

Both upward and downward firing weapons were used with the type.  The museum's example has only the upward firing weapons.

The downward firing weapons were sighted through an opening in the instrument panel (see below) and the clear panels on the lower nose.



All yours Paul.

Gary
