Foreword
FOREWORD
This Manual contains harmonization data supplemental to that issued in technical
orders and consolidated simplified aircraft ballistic data extracted from aircraft
firing tables. The harmonization patterns were compiled at the proving ground
command to facilitate the conduct of service tests on aircraft weapons. The
ballistic data was supplied by the Chief of Ordnance, Ballistics Branch. These types
of data are combined in a single publication for general use by Army Air Forces
officers. Further work by the Proving Ground Command and other field installations will be disseminated in revisions to this Manual. The patterns for harmonization contained herein are indorsed by Army Air Forces but may be amended by
each individual station in accordance with local conditions to obtain effective
fire power.

INTRODUCTION
1. The maximum range for harmonization used in this
Manual is 2000 feet. Although the effective range for
actual firing is 1200 feet maximum, a harmonization
I
based on 1200 feet would result 1fi the same bullet patterns as for 2000-foot harmonization, and the latter has
the added advantage of the aircraft being harmonized
for the extra 800 feet should the tactical requirements
necessitate firing at the longer range.
b. Technical Orders.
c. Manufacturer's Data.
~. All ballistic data were ob~ained from Ballistic Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Aberdeen, \Md., and any que,;tions or discrepancies concerning these data should be referred to that source.
6. Section C is included primarily as a technical expla~ation of the method used in computing the harmonization charts, and is not intended to be used in the field
unless a specific duty of harmonization is made.

8. GENERAL.
a. It is recommended that for most cases the included
harmonization charts be used, unless specific tactical
requirements necessitate a deviation. All possible care
should be taken to align the guns as accurately as possible to the boresight targets, and all mounts, etc.,
checked so as to eliminate any error due to movement
of guns.
h. Even though the aircraft is harmonized perfectly,
there is no substitute for accuracy in shooting and
estimating lead. Pattern boresighting will be a great
help in deflection shooting and firing at longer ranges,
and yet will be just as satisfactory for the close-range
shots.

A BORESIGHTING PROCEDURE FOR FIXED GUNS

1000-INCH BORESIGHT TARGET
guns are to be aimed, copying data from included harmonization diagram, or from data figured by a responsible officer.
6. With sight line level indicator removed from gun
sight, next turn on reticle light and adjust sight so that
reticle pip points to mark on boresight target for sight
pip. The gun sight will now be aligned in azimuth and
zenith for the basic harmonization.
7. With boresight tool, align the guns to point at their
respective targets.

SECTION C
HARMONIZATION
The Following Is an Example of the Computations and Method Used in
Harmonizing a P-51 D Airplane
1. DATA NEEDED.
a. Basic harmonization condition, or the average
that the aircraft will fly during combat:
Calibrated indicated air speed = 300 miles per hour.
True air speed = 373 miles per hour.
Altitude = 15000 feet.
Level flight, or 1 "g."
Average combat weight = 9500 pounds.
Angle of attack = ap = +13 mils.
b. Location of the guns: side and plan dimensions in
reference to the optical sight and the aircraft center
line.
c. Maximum angle the guns will elevate in respect
to the fuselage leveling lugs. (From the Technical Orders = 10+ mils.)
d. Find angle of attack of aircraft in reference to the
fuselage leveling lugs for all speeds in which the aircraft might fire in level flight, 1 to 4 "g's," and in 30degree dive or climb, 1 to 4 "g's."
e. Find the trajectory curve for the projectile to be
used for the speed and altitude of the basic harmonization. The data can be interpolated from Aberdeen Proving Ground publications.
f. Formulae Used:
E = Vi (age)
Vm
E = Vi (agf)
E . - ViI (agil)
-
ViI
+ Vm
agil = aPI - ap
When:
/J.
2. PLOTTING TRAJECTORIES.
a. SKETCH "A."-Draw trajectory curve from data
found in "l.e." (Scale recommended: horizontal, 1 inch
= 100 feet; vertical, 1 inch = 20 feet.) Locate the sight
in relation to the guns. Draw in separate sight line
for each gun, harmonizing each around the projectile
path as desired.
b. SKETCH "B." -Redraw "A" so that each of the
three sight lines fall in one line and by measuring the
drop from each sight lir;'-e layout the trajectory curve
of all guns. At a convenient range, 1000 feet, measure
the distance the projectile is above or below the sight
line for each gun. This distance, known as "A," will be
used later. The completed drawing will be the side pattern of the projectiles while flying at the basic harmonization.
c. SKETCH "C."-Draw a plan of the projectile
paths. Make each intersect the projected center line of
the aircraft at the range desired.
d. By plotting from the sketches Band C a projectile
pattern can be drawn for any range up to 2000 feet.
Changes will undoubtedly have to be made in the gun
arrangement in order to achieve the desired patterns.
3. BASIC HARMONliATION-TO SIGHT LINE-SIDE.
a. Find the mil angle of the effective bore line in
relation to the fixed sight line for each gun, in side
view.

Therefore:
Fixed sight line is 12.0 mils above the flight pathbasic harmonization.
Fixed sight line is 1.0 mil below the fuselage leveling lugs.
Therefore:
No.1 gun's effective bore line is up 5.1 mils from the
fixed sight line.
No.2 gun's effective bore line is up 4.2 mils from the
fixed sight line.
No.3 gun's effective bore line is up 6.3 mils from the
fixed sight line.
4. BASIC HARMONIZATION-TO FLIGHT PATH-SIDE.
a. From3.a' J it can be seen that the No. 3 gun
elevates the most. According to Technical Orders, the
guns elevate 10+ mils, but for safety use 9 mils. Elevate
No. 3 gun 9.0 mils in relation to the fuselage leveling
lugs.

ap=MiI angle between the fuselage leveling lugs and the fl ight path. This
data is derived from the best available angle of attack charts, but is not
guaranteed. The boresight targets and Jl- angles are based on this angle
of the attack chart.
I-'=Mil angle betw~n the sight line and the projectiles at any range out to
2000 feet.. When the mil angle is minus the projectiles are above the sight
line; when plus they are below. This mil angle acts along the vertical axis
of the sight. The mil angle I-' .;s only applicable when the aircraft is
harmonized as shown in the above boresight and fire-in targets.

At 355 mph, Cal lAS, FSl is parallel 10 fP
ap=1'1i1 angle be~wee n t;he fu selage level ing lugs and t.he flight; pat.h. This
data is derived from t.he best; available angle of a t;tack charts, but; is not;
guaranteed . The boresight target.s and p. angles arc based on this angle
of t.he at;tack chart;,
p. = 1fil angle bet;ween the sight; line and t;he projectiles at; any range out; t.o
2000 feet. When the mil angle is minus t.he projectiles are above the sight
line ; when plus t;hey arc below. This mil anJ:!:le acl;s al o n~ t;he vert;ical axis
or the sight. The mil angle p. is only a.pplicable when the aircraft; is
harmonized as shown in the above borosight and fire-in targets,
