I am not sure if this is considered a "bug", oversite, etc. and I did not know where else to submit this.  If it has already been submitted I apologize because I never saw this problem listed.

Brief description:  The fixed illuminated gunsight for the P-47D-28 is incorrect.  It should be the Mark VIII illuminated gunsight.
Detailed description, conditions

AN 01-65BC-1A

Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions for ARMY MODELS P-47D-25, -26, -27, -28, -30 and -35 Airplanes  BRITISH MODEL  THUNDERBOLT

Page 43 Section 3a

"Gunsight Operation --This airplane is equipped with a Mark VIII sight.  The brilliance of the sight reticle is adjustable by means of a theostat (figure 5) on the main switch panel on the left side of the cockpit, below the throttle.  The reticle is visible only when the eyes are in the proper postition, within a 2-inch circle directly behind the sight."
