- Funny thing about the Norden bombsight: "The Japanese managed to obtain their
- own copy of the bombsight in 1942, when they found it aboard some B-17s
- abandoned in Java. To their surprise, the Japanese discovered that the vaunted
- American technology was not very impressive; their own bombsight was
- superior." taken fromVolkman, Ernest and Blaine Baggett's _Secret
- Intelligence_. New York:Doubleday, 1989. pg 51. Hmmmmmm.
