Type 88, 75mm Anti-Aircraft Artillery

Japan’s Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun was adopted between the world wars and served widely during the Second World War. It was intended to defend important sites and forces against aircraft, and it could also be used in ground-fire roles under wartime conditions. Shared shorthand about an “88” does not establish the same caliber, design, or performance. It was also used against ground targets, including armored vehicles, when circumstances required direct fire. The weapon’s designation refers to the Japanese imperial calendar adoption year rather than an 88mm caliber. Its 75mm ammunition and carriage distinguish it from later, larger Japanese anti-aircraft guns.
