Askania EZ 42/1-A1 Gunsight INFO & PICS here please
#19

mr Jolly is the gyro sight that you have created based on a photograph or is it your own interpretation?

I found this. Very low resolution but I think this part shows the reticle and the diamonds?

I'm asking some questions on another forum concerned with the aircraft that used the Askania. One of the moderators there is a late war luftwaffe expert, he has interviewed numerous luft pilots, has access to original documents and is an aviation author.
I'm counting on getting a reply from him.

Also, some points:

a) There doesn't seem to be any evidence that the He-162 A-2 used the gyro.

b)Don't forget to have the option of 'caged gyro' so one can revert to the normal reticle. This should be a historically correct function.

c) I think when this becomes available there should be a way to uninstall it easily from each seperate aircraft, if this is possible. That way if one decides he wants a more 'generic' version of his fighter he can easily go back to the original revi.

I hope i'm more help than hindrance! I'm just brainstorming here. Keep up the good work!

This is getting exciting! 8)
