Help:assistance needed for future website on gunsights

Good day all,

collecting mostly US and British aircraft gunsights has been my main focus (along with original flight, E&M and parts manuals) for quite a few years now (60+ in the collection and adding more whenever possible) and i have to come to the concusion that :

– collecting just for yourself with your collection nicely displayed in your office is boring if not shared with others;
– besides for German GS, available info on the web is almost non-existant. If “googled”, almost everything you find is not info but people asking for info.

Conclusion : i’ve decided to create a website dedicated to the subject. At the beginning, it will be “limited” to US & British WWII to early fifties period and will include :

– logically, as many detailed photos of gunsights.
– lists of gunsights and detailed list of type of aircrafts fitted
– period photos of fighter/bomber photos where gunsight type can be clearly and easily identifiable
– gunsight technical manuals
– pages of aircraft technical manuals (preferably parts manuals as Flight & E&M manuals were often not detailed enough to identify exactly what type of GS was fitted) giving info on GS type.

But, to be able to do this, i need your assistance and help ! I will of course put there everything i have in my collection but i have “fortunaly” many many necessary info missing.

So, if you have and want to share :

– any gunsight in your collection you could send me photos of;
– any good quality period aircraft cockpit or gunsight photos;
– any useful technical info;

please get in touch with me. Of course, anything would be fully credited once the website will be online.

I hope to hear from many of you.

Thanks in advance,

Laurent
