The American 90 mm gun served as a primary heavy anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun playing a role similar to the renowned German 88 mm gun. It was the US’s primary anti-aircraft gun from just prior to the opening of World War II into the 1950s when most anti-aircraft artillery was replaced by guided missile systems. As a tank gun it was the main weapon of the M36 tank destroyer and M26 Pershing tank as well as a number of post-war tanks.
