Cannone da 90/53
anti-aircraft / anti-tank gun
Italy's counterpart to the famed German 88mm flak gun, the 90/53 was a capable heavy anti-aircraft piece that, like its German equivalent, proved a formidable tank killer in the direct-fire anti-tank role when pressed into desert service. It was also fitted, self-propelled, onto a heavy truck chassis as one of the earliest gun-motor carriages of the war.
