Default Fighter gun sights? Please help

I am trying to do a project and can't seem to find any pictures of fighter gun sights from the WWII. I am looking for pictures from the pilot's perspective. An accurate, crisp, artist rendering or computer designed picture would work best instead of a photo.
I'm also looking for WWII fighter blueprints or silhouettes, specifically viewed from directly in front of the aircraft.
After reading through this site for a while, this definitely seems the place to ask. I'm striking out so far.
Can't thank you enough for any help!
Semper Fi',

This guys site has some nice "silhouettes" from three angles, for most but not all of the WW2 planes in all airparks.

Goto:

WW2 Warbirds: Main page - Frans Bonné

Don't know about where to look for the gunsights, but I'll keep checking around in my old files to see if I can find something for you.
