	I wonder if it was a Norden sight.  My father was one of
	something like three or so instrument makers in the USA	
	qualified to make the gyros for them.  He was extremely
	busy the first two years of our involvement in the war.

	I remember when Avirex had several of them for sale about
	ten years ago.  I regret not having bought one.  The cross
	hairs on every sight came from the head of one woman who
	had very dark, very fine hair of constant diameter over
	its length.  She let 'them' shave her head in the interest
	of serving her country.  Pretty cool.
