How One RAF Mechanic Built a Scrap Gatling Gun and Shot Down 7 Bombers in 14 Minutes

In this episode of our ww2 stories series, we uncover one of the most overlooked wartime innovations: the secret six-barrel weapon built by an RAF mechanic who never appeared in official ww2 stories but changed the outcome of a Luftwaffe assault. This is one of those ww2 stories where a single two-millimeter detail decided whether an airfield survived—or fell in minutes. Elizabeth Carter, a woman buried in maintenance logs and forgotten reports, built a scrap-based mini-Gatling that shot down seven German bombers in fourteen minutes. Her design, erased from public documentation, reveals a side of ww2 stories that rarely makes it into textbooks: the quiet engineers, the hidden mechanics, and the minds who solved problems while institutions hesitated. If you’re drawn to ww2 stories about forgotten heroes, battlefield engineering, and the hidden intelligence behind survival, this is a chapter you should not miss.
