This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Did any WWII airspeed gauges have the smaller dial for Mach inside the big airspeed gauge, or was that a postwar thing?

The military didn't really try to achieve the magical mach number until 1947, so I don't thnk that they were installed. I know that they weren't on P-47's, -38's or -51's. Or L-5's for that matter either.

The Air Force Type F-4 ASI instruments with small mach gauge dials came out in 1944, so they definitely were applicable to aircraft such as P-51's and P-47's. What else could they have flown in?
Cheers,
Richard
