Too close for comfort.
I discovered today that an SE5a's sight is set to converge (intersect lines of fire) the Lewis on the wing and the cowling Vickers at
50 YARDS!
Now that is close...
That said, the Vickers had its own separate sight, and both guns had separate triggers, so there was flexibility. Still it seems as though the designers had invading personal space as the objective!
