Last week, we talked about the forward-firing blister packs affixed to the fuselage of the B-25. Now let’s go into the cockpit and see a flyer aimed all of this new-found firepower.

The sight could be used straight-on or adjusted downward from 1 to 15 degrees for various bombing angles. Note that, if the gunsight failed, and spare bulbs didn’t help fix the problem, there was an old-school ring and post sight just to the right of the N-3C.
