Bore-sighting
Can anyone point me to a internet resource which has information on the typical bore-sighting standards for the Republic P-47D (first version razorback) and the Focke-Wulf FW 190A-5/6.
My two questions are: 1. Were the bore-sighting processes for World War II fighters essentially the same for both the USAAF and the Luftwaffe, i.e. position the plane horizontally and sight all guns/cannons to converge at a specific location down range? 2. Were the distances the guns/cannons sighted to, typically the same, i.e. 1,000 yards for the USAAF and ? for the Luftwaffe or were these distances generally pilot dictated? Thank you for any assistance you can provide me. If you have a perfectly good half-hour to kill here is my first effort at a World War II article: http://achtungbaby.home.insightbb.com/ramrod_iii.htm. Constructive criticisms invited. |
