In our testing and development of the product, we found that a lot of information was not completely accurate, missing or misrepresented. One of the things that was found was that Curtis could not fulfill the orders of the AVG, and so the planes that they had were hand built essentially from spare parts on the Curtis production line. They're a mixture of the B/C models, and tend to be more rugged overall. I have an AVG book here that I'm going to have to go through and find some more details, but that's one of the first quotes I've heard saying that they didn't have sights. It's possible that this changed a bit later, but they might not have them early on.
Cody,

Seems that A2A has done a fine job researching this topic already, as the AVG modeled VC is unique from the Tomahawk and B/C models. Very impressed. I found this nugget from google and can only say well done A2A!
