They used a lot of them on the bi-planes in WWI. The Lewis gun was well known, and I believe it had a penchant for jamming but right now I can’t remember all that much about their peculiarities.

That gun is so old, you could have it shipped right to your front door! ... If you have the $25 federal permit to deal in antique and collectible firearms.

In the South Pacific, the Navy used them in WW2.
