WW2 Aircraft Instrumentation Question
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a "standard" airspeed
indicator and an F-1 airspeed indicator is? Was there any external difference when one was installed? I'm looking at B-24's. Ed "'Twas a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it." W. C. Fields (Delete text after dot com for e-mail reply.) |

Most of us were happy to remember to check that the Pitot Tube covers were removed! |

The 1942 Pioneer F-1 Airspeed Indicator had a dial scale that read 0-100 mph with a secondary scale reading hundreds of mph, IIRC. Does that help any... or is there some other major difference? Rob |
