Wwii U. S. Navy Mark VIII Mod. 8 Illuminated Fighter Aircraft Gunsight
NAVY MARK VIII ILLUMINATED FIGHTER AIRCRAFT GUNSIGHT. Navy-issue Mark 8 Mod. 8 illuminated fighter aircraft sight. The sight retains an intact rubber impact pad and still has fine optics. In the picture with the yellow illumated optics hologram, I simply shined a flashlight into the small optics end which projected the reticule upon the oval glass. A “light elbow” would have been used in the cockpit for the same effect allowing the pilot easier aiming through the cockpit dome. These lights may be refitted today so that the sight may be displayed upon a shelf, etc. The neck of the sight reads as follows. ILLUMINATED SIGHT MARK 8 MOD. 83406 SPENCER LENS CO. These sights could either be used with or without a fixed reflector glass (this item has the original fixed reflector glass), in which case the reticle was projected directly on the armored glass windscreen or to a reflector glass fixed directly on the windscreen. They were coomon features on the F6F Hellcat, F4F Wildcat, TBF Avemger, Corsair, and P47 Thunderbolt. The item “WWII U. S.
