Allied/Axis fighter gun sights

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

Hi All. I have been trying to find information on reflector and gyro gunsights used by both allied and axis air forces during World War two

Does anyone know of any illustration that I could buy or a website that could provide me with the information.

 

Cheers

I had a much better site that I used for reticle references a few years ago that seems to be dead now.
