History The Norden bombsight was a critical tool used by the United States Army Air Force and the United States Navy during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. This analog computer calculated bomb trajectories with remarkable accuracy, enabling pilots to release their payload at precisely the right moment. The bombsight also linked directly to the aircraft's autopilot system, making it an essential component of military aviation. For its time, this technology was incredibly accurate, but it was also highly classified and aircrews were trained to destroy the site in order to prevent enemy capture. Carl L. Norden, Inc. built the bombsight for the military, and it continued to be used long after World War II. Price: $99.00 Date Added: December 9, 2015 Product ID: 5667ca024e4a13cf0b8b4567
