Interesting, here is a link direct to the U-2 flight manual, the sextant starts on page 192 of the PDF. https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2012-featured-story-archive/1959U-2_Flight_Manual.pdf Reading about its operation is appears to be a modified Kollsman periscopic sextant. gl --- On Fri, 1/11/13, Paul Hirose <cfuhb-acdgw@earthlink.net> wrote:
