Re: EZ 42 in FW 190
Hi Mike,
Great documents, thanks! I only had the one about the EZ42 so far. There was even an EZ45 that should have superseded the EZ42. Regards Roger Gaemperle

Re: EZ 42 in FW 190
Great stuff, Revi!! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
Note that the EZ 40 in Revi's series of gunsights is the Zeiss product, together with the EZ 41, the EZ 44, and the EZ 45 (not shown here). The Askania products were another EZ 40, bulkier than the EZ 42, and installed in a handful of Fw 190s in August 1944, and the EZ 42. Last edited by George Hopp; 8th January 2008 at 00:46.

Re: EZ 42 in FW 190
Again, great stuff, Revi!!
But, I do wonder how they would have set range with these two gunsights. Perhaps they preset the enemy aircraft wingspan and firing range on the gunsight, as had the Brits with their Mk. II gunsight. Last edited by George Hopp; 8th January 2008 at 05:08.

Re: EZ 42 in FW 190
Hello!
I finally found the photos of a EZ40 installed in a Bf 109! There is also a drawing of the EZ40 and wartime photos of this gunsight. I sent them to Horst Beck who owns as far as is known the only EZ40 left today. He uploaded the photos on swapey. Here is the link: EZ40 Gyro Gunsight Best regards Roger Gaemperle
