Mark VIII Reflector Gunsight
DAYTON, Ohio -- Mark VIII Reflector Gunsight on display in the World War II Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Originally developed by the U.S. Navy, the Mark VIII reflector gunsight was used in the P-47D Thunderbolt. Reflector gunsights worked by projecting a "reticle" (also called a "pipper") onto a slanted piece of glass through which the pilot aimed. (U.S. Air Force photo)
