B-17 gunsights

Thu Nov 20, 2008 1:38 am

Howdy

Does anyone out there have any close-up photos / factory drawings of the gunsights for the cheek guns on a B-17G? We're going to fabricate some for Aluminum Overcast while she's back in OSH this winter. I tried the parts manual, but we're missing those pages, and the maintenance manual doesn't show them in enough detail.

I appreciate the help.

For the most part, I'd say that those are what I'm looking for. The base for the ring sight is a little different than what I need, but it's a good place to start.

Thanks Holedigger.
