This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Another one bites the dust!  The list of old models is getting mighty short.  Huzzah!

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Manual for the A20G shows it shipped with the N3A optical gunsight and it's prominent in WW2 squad photos for that version along with the bullet proof glass panel set just back of the gunsight. The flip down iron sight was left mounted as a backup. I sent Waffle all of that info a few years back. Both the A20G and Boston had a bulletproof glass panel just in front of the pilot which looks to be missing from the new screen shots along with the N3A gunsight.

The manual with the N3A info is the 10 November 1944 manual for the A20G\J and P70 versions. Here is the bulletproof glass for the American and British versions of the A20 along with a good photo of the N3A sight head and mounting location.

B3 sight head used on the N3C optical gunsight in the A20G. The head is none tilt able due to the gunsight mounted in front of the bullet proof glass.

Here is the bullet proof glass.








Top of this photo you see the hole for the N3A optical gunsight to be set in past the bottom of the bullet proof glass.

Wow! Our A20 cockpit from the outside looks like the WT cockpit. I was just trying to find how they did the 3D artwork.
