Aircraft Silhouetted in Gunsight Ranging Reticle at Dusk
Viewed through a pilot's gunsight, an aircraft is framed within the ranging reticle at dusk. The '100 MILS' scale and stadiametric lines allowed pilots to judge range to a target based on its wingspan — a critical skill for air-to-air gunnery and intercept training during the Vietnam War era.
