Mike,

Please don't forget that while the Revi 16B and C12/D was shorter in length they were not directly attached to the panel but had a flange or tube on which they were mounted. The EZ42 could be attached directly to the panel and would not have been closer to the pilot's face than a 16B. The same thing was done in the Me 262 were the tube on which the Revi 16B could be swivelled out of the way was cut at the horizontal tubular frame and the mounting plate of the EZ42 was directly attached to the horizontal tubular frame (w/o the possiblity to swivel the sight).

I think I have seen at least photos of a EZ40 (not the later EZ42) in a Me 109 (I have to search my documents, but I found the photo at the NASM archives some years ago).

Regards
