I have some pages which looked interesting photographed, not entire docs. I'll PM some samples sooner or later. As an example I can list some Radial sighting errors in dead astern attack. Source first, gun sight type, radial error in Mills:

WWII (RAF gun camera, flying bombs), fixed, 4.4-5.5
Squadron training exercise, fixed, 5.7
A&AEE trial with average pilots, gyro, 9.12
Fighter Command Trial with experienced pilots, fixed, 2.2
A&AEE trial with experienced pilot, gyro, 1.6

As you can see, there is quite a variation depending on pilot.
