in most WWII pictures and videos, F4U-1A/C/D corsair seems like didn't have the default fixed reflector for mk 8 gunsight. only few case founded for have it.
as i see, commonly,
case of F4U-1A, square type additonal reflector fitted at upperside of front canopy.
case of F4U-1D or -4, just direct use a bullet proof glass as gun-sight reflector.
right?
also line of sight was raised from old birdcage corsairs with raised seat position.
i'm looking for document what improvement of visibility with corsair's gunsight configuration and raised line of sight.
