U.S. 3 inch M1918 AA gun.

U.S. 90mm AA gun.

The doohickey in the Times photo looks to me more like the height finder than the guns. Maybe they claimed credit for the kills of the whole battery because of their crucial contribution.

Good find on those photos. I agree that the picture in the Times is of the height finder. I agree with Homer that the battery was probably claiming a kill as a unit.

The link below has some good information about the 90mm AA gun and it’s use:
