• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

i looked online and found some info,seems they were used on the M2 .50cal waist guns on B17,B24,B26 and maybe other aircraft..i dont know,it seems to be fairly complete,as the two i saw online were both missing the round "lens",this one has it in tact.
 
That is a great piece of history you have Dave. Take good care of it. Perhaps, one day, you would consider parting with it, to a museum or a restored flying bomber.
