| An observer leans over the fuselage of an aircraft to use a Mark 1-A bombsight, the first one designed for aircraft use. |
|
| However, unlike the Allies' atomic bomb, electronic warfare, or Norden bombsight, the Germans were unable to reap benefits from their investment. |
|
| The Norden bombsight from World War II was supposedly accurate enough to place a bomb in a pickle barrel from 20,000 feet. |
|
| Army Air Forces planners in World War II hoped to achieve unprecedented bombing accuracy with the Norden bombsight. |
|
| Professor James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes's mortal enemy, wants to get his hands on a revolutionary new bombsight. |
|
| Flying at 14,000 feet, their new Mark XIV bombsight gave them an excellent target to aim at. |
|
| On another night, they cruise in a bomber over Kandahar, one flying the aircraft, the other with his eyes glued to a bombsight. |
|
| He invented an automatic bombsight patented by the USA and in 1936 designed an all-metal trainer and high-speed fighter. |
|
| Another famous part of the B-17 was its highly advanced Norden bombsight, which allowed for effective bomb aiming even at high altitudes. |
|
| This test was followed by the dropping of a real bomb and the devising of the first bombsight. |
|
| We had a very intense crosswind on this particular heading, and by the time I had fully engaged the bombsight we had drifted considerably south of my chosen position. |
|
| After we decided the thing was not going to burn, the bombardier got in the nose to take out the bombsight and I got in the cockpit to get the classified papers. |
|
| Gomez also has a job as recreation director of the Norden bombsight workers. |
|
| The navigator has a bombsight and celestial data as a guide. |
|
| Also like the B-17, it carried the Norden bombsight. |
|
| Neither, staring through his bombsight, could bombardier Umphress. |
|
| The bombardier then checked the gyroscopic stabilization of the bombsight and clutched in the electrical motor. |
|
| In the event, the need to keep such tight defensive formations over Europe compromised the accuracy of the Norden bombsight, since individual bomb runs were not possible without breaking the formation. |
|
| Teal's bomber group was given the mission-a maneuver that involved B-17s flying at an altitude of only 300 feet, for which a special bombsight had to be contrived. |
|
| Trained as a bombardier, Kelly was reassigned. John Stiles would move from his waist gunner's position to take over the bombsight operation as the crew's toggler. |
