I know the answer is out there somewhere... What is the size of the reticle ring in the RAF GM2 MkII reflector gunsight? Did they use artillery mils (1 mil = 1 meter at 1000 meters) or was it a standard milradian (360 deg = 6283 milrads)?
The 1943 RAF Gunnery Manual (Bag the Hun) states "The span of a FW190 (and Me109, too) is such that it appears equal to a diameter of a ring when it is 100yds away." There is a 0.58m/23inch difference between the two aircraft's wingspan and the difference could be the difference between a 100mil reticle and a 106 mil reticle. I am trying to get an exact ring measurement.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
