 == History ==
-The [[Oerlikon FF (20 mm)|Oerlikon FF]] was a wing-mounted anti-aircraft weapons whose lineage goes back to German industrialist Reinhold Becker who made the Becker M2 in World War I as an autocannon for the German Air Force (''Luftstreitkräfte''). The only weapon of its type during the Great War to see service in Germany, the Becker's design was sold after the war to Switzerland to comply with restrictions stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles. The patents for the Becker ended in the hands of the Swiss arms firm Oerlikon in 1924 who made their first improvement on the design the Oerlikon S in 1927.

-The FF began development in 1935 when Oerlikon decided to modify their 20mm design to fit in the wings of aircraft. It was soon followed by an upgraded variant called the FFS which fires a 20x110mm cartridge at 450 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 2,700 ft/s (830m/s). When France began expanding its Armée de l'Air in the 1930s, the company Hispano-Suiza acquired a license to make the Oerlikon FFS and modified the design to serve as a moteur-canon that could be installed between the cylinder banks of their V12 aircraft engines or through the propeller shift of an inline engine. These cannons would become the HS.7, but later got upgraded to the HS.9. However, Hispano-Suiza got into a patent dispute with Oerlikon and ended up losing their license to produce the HS.7 and HS.9. Hispano-Suiza chief engineer would then be contracted in 1933 to make a replacement of these cannons which became the [[Hispano 404 (20 mm)|Hispano 404]] which would arm French, British, and American aircraft throughout World War II, while the FF would be licensed by Germany and Japan to arm Axis aircraft in the same conflict.
