[edit] Hotchkiss sale to Japan

According to [[1]] and [[2]], before WWI Yves Le Prieur used to work as an attaché to the French embassy in Tokyo. In the 1930s, Japan acquired licenses to manufacture the Hotchkiss 13.2 and 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, that had carriages and predictor sights designed by Le Prieur. Was he personally involved in the Hotchkiss Japan deal? PpPachy 15:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
