How did wwii gyro gunsights work5/31/2023 ![]() This Mod introduced the RP attachment and raised the sight to 'Mk.IId Series 2'. In May 1945 the Director of Armament Development in the UK sent over (among other GGS technical data) drawings for Mod.19 FE to the US. ![]() I think the added functionality for rockets came from Ferranti. After initial low enthusiasm the USAAF eventually came on board and adopted the Mk.IId/Mk.21 as the K-14. In USN service the Mk.IIc was the Mk.18 and the Mk.IIc was the Mk.21. Yes the initial GGS design that made it to service was the Mk.IIc which was meant for gun turrets, the Mk.IId was the fighter sight.
