K-14 Gunsight
Figure 35: K-14 computing gunsight
The P-51D is equipped with the K-14 gunsight, mounted on the instrument hood centerline. This
sight contains both fixed and gyro-actuated optical systems, and computes the correct lead angle for
targets at ranges of 200 – 800 yards.
The fixed optical sight system projects on the reflector glass a cross, surrounded by a 70-mil ring
which can be blanked out by pulling down the masking lever on the left side of the sight. The fixed
sight is used to engage ground targets and as a secondary sight against airborne targets. The gyro
sight projects a variable-diameter circle of six diamond-shaped pips surrounding a central dot. The
gyro sight is the primary sight used to engage airborne targets.
