Was the Type 99 Antiaircraft Sight ever Used?

The head-master at the engineering-school I attended was employed as a civilian in the USAF during the Korean War. He said pilots worried more when the North-Koran AA were just blazing away, than when they tried to aim and shoot.

Thanks for the link, and found it was used in volley fire against slow moving, low flying aircraft. In the SAA we were told never to shoot our rifles at airplanes, because they were most likely friendly, and because we would just be giving away our position.

But different times, different wars.
