RE: Predictive Gyro Gunsight
One book that’s worth a look is ‘They Gave Me a Seafire’ by R ‘Mike’ Crosley, published as an Airlife Classic.
This has an appendix on air-to-air gunnery which mentions the gyro gunsight, and another specificaly on the Gyro Gunsight Mark IID. It describes how it worked (or not if you got into a dogfight with an FW 190 as the author did over the Normandy beaches). No pictures or technical drawings, but at least it’s a start.
