I want to know what hell of weapons carried the romanian PZL P24E, because some sources say 2 7.92mm + 2 20mm, other say 4 7.92 mm, and other a mix of this two + 4 bombs of 10kg (12,5 from other).
Can somebody make little light ?

I believe I already sent you an answer privatelly regarding this topic.
According to my sources, the P.Z.L. P.24E in ARR service had only a pair of 7.92mm FN Browning machine guns. Later, grenade launchers were fitted under the wings for small calibre bombs/grenades.
Provisions for two 20mm cannon existed originally, but the armament was not actually fitted to the wings.

From several pictures from Denes's book "Rumanian aces of ww2" all PZL 24E had only two machine guns in the wings (7,92 mm)

I read in the book "Le grand livre des chasseurs" that only the PZL 24A had two machine guns 7,92 mm and two 20 mm Oerlikon type canons. The E type is not described...
