Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a nice example of a Navigational Compass as used in aircraft of France during WWII. The compass is marked on the side Compas VION type H.A. 82. Brevete S.G.D.G. it reads rests in its original wooden box with leather strap. The compass is affixed to a mounting bracket, which could be attached to either a vertical or horizontal surface of the aircraft. Small levers on either on either side of the round vibration mounts tighten and release the security of the grip of the mount to the compass body. The compass has a adjustable mount for a glass prism that permitted reading of the compass from an angle without having to view from directly overhead. It has an electrical light fixture which is missing the bulb. The liquid has since evaporated, leaving witness marks on the inner glass. The compass body can be released to turn in its cradle.
The compass body measures 4.5 inches diameter and 3.5 inches deep. The box is 10 inches wide, 7 inches in height, and 8 inches in depth.
