20 Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Sighting Bar

20 Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Sighting Bar

This sightng bar has several light bulbs spaced evenly across its length. The pilot would compare the distance beween the lights with the width of the ship to determine the distance to the target and when to drop the torpedo, and the proper amount of lead ahead of the ship needed for accurate aiming.
