===World War I=== {{Multiple image | total_width = 400 | image1 = 3inch20cwtAAgunPeerlessLorryWWI.jpg | caption1 = A World War 1, British, truck-mounted, QF 3 inch gun | image2 = Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorry 2.jpg | caption2 = [[Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorry]] }} Anti-aircraft machine guns have long been mounted on trucks, and these were quite common during [[World War I]]. A predecessor of the WWII German "88" anti-aircraft gun, the WWI German 77 mm anti-aircraft gun, was truck-mounted and used to great effect against British tanks. The British [[QF 3 inch 20 cwt]] was mounted on trucks for use on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]]. The British also had a first dedicated anti aircraft weapon, the [[QF 1-pounder pom-pom]]. Mounted on an armoured truck titled the [[Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorry]], which was produced in limited numbers and only seeing service throughout 1915. Towards the end of the war Germany produced three prototype SPAAGs with AA guns mounted on [[A7V]] chassis known as the A7V Flakpanzer.<ref name=Zaloga>{{cite book |last=Zaloga |first=Steven J |author-link=Steven Zaloga |date=2006 |title=German Panzers 1914–18 |url= |location= |publisher=Osprey Publishing |pages=13–14 |isbn=9781472802347 }}</ref>
