+RAVEN Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Well I found an other Ref. photo and that part is a "deviation card holder I think". I had to have a place to put the gunsight. 4 Quote

+RAVEN Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Well that part is not a deviation card holder, it's a (drum roll) periscopic mirror, go's with a second periscopic mirror attached to the top of the wind-shield center panel. Info from Warbird websight: "The small mirror just ahead of the crash pad was used on the early gunsights as a periscope, when coupled with a corresponding mirror mounted on the top windshield frame. This gave the pilot a few degrees visibility over the nose of the plane.. " Edited March 30, 2013 by RAVEN Quote
