The document summarizes the history and development of gyro gunsights used in aircraft from World War 2 through the Cold War. Gyro gunsights automatically calculated the lead angle and bullet drop needed for a pilot to hit a moving target. The first operational gyro gunsight was the British Mark I in 1941. Improved models like the Mark II saw widespread use through the end of WWII. Germany developed the EZ 42 gyro sight but it did not see full deployment. The US developed the AN/ASG-26 for the F-4 Phantom, which provided targeting information via a head-up display.
