[gmorrow]

Hello Everyone,

I am doing some research also for a couple of Fi 156 variants and have some questions.

Was the Fi 156U sighting device (as described in Mikael's post) on the landing gear supports on both sides of the aircraft? I only have a photo of the right side showing the sighting device, but assume there probably was one on the left also (as shown above in Paul's post).

I have also found another Fi 156 variant, the Fi 156P. The description suggest it could carry three SC50 bombs or smoke canisters and had side firing machine guns. I have no pictures of the machine gun placement of this variant or if it actually did have side firing weapons as described in one of the web sites I found. If it did, where would the placement/location of the side firing weapons be for the Fi 156P?

I think it also had the Revi C/12/D dive bombing sight. How did the recticle of the dive bomb sight appear? And was the dive bomb sight also used with the Fi 156U to drop a depth charge and/or was the landing gear supports sighting device used?

Thanks Much,
Gary
