thousands parts. © Cadets learn enough about it to make superficial yepairs, but bombsight men defy cadets or anyone else to take one apart and put it together again without months of careful training. The bomb sight is mounted directly behind a special piece of thick glass in the bombardier’s compartment in the nose of the plane. It
cased in black metal. One element containing the telescope and its adjusting machinery is located to the bombardier's right; the second, containing the gyroscope fo his left on the same level; the third, directly under the gyroscope. ‘A Great Confusion’
" Taken apart, the sight becomes a great confusion of mirrors, prisms, lenses, gears, cams, wires, bearings, and countless other tiny parts— making it easy to understand why the following is becoming a popular gag among airmen: “Some* day theyll be giving commissions to the bombsights and leaving the bombardiers at home.” Kenny allowed me to watch bombardier cadets using the sight from their indoor “high chair” training machines and arranged for me to try it myself on a practice bombing mission. The target was a life-size silhouette of the German battleship von Tirpitz laid out on a flat Texas prairie 15 minutes flight from the school air field. The instructors who took me out there blasted it time and time again with 100-pound practice bomb loaded with sand and black powder.
It’s Hard to Miss
Once you get the sight trained on the target—and it takes a good bombardier only 26 seconds of level flying to do that—you literally can’t miss, Thdt was demonstrated twice at 6000 feet and twice again at 500 feet. It was uncanny. No human could even approach such accuracy. Here, roughly, is how the bombardier uses the sight: Before begining the run on the target, he sets the sight for the chosen altitude and air speed, adjusts its gyroscope to spin with its axis perpendicular to the ground, lines up the sight with the plane’s true direction and prepares the bombs for dropping. ; Bombardier Takes Over
When the run begins, the bombardier takes command of the ship. During the next 25 seconds, the maximum time allowed in most combat runs, he becomes extremely busy. He must concéntrate on his job even if anti-aircraft shells are bursting on all sides. Success of the ‘entire mission depends on how well he uses those 25 seconds.
which is part of the - sight, ‘Objective is to line up two Hoi: hairs inside the telescope so that they intersect across the target. Then he adjusts the sight so that even as the plane moves forward at three or four miles a minute the cross hairs automatically stay on the target, The sight does “the rest. It has been synchronized to the chosen altitude and speed in such a manner that if the plane is put on the proper course, the cross hairs will follow the target.
INDIANA HARBOR RAIL WRECK INJURES 12
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. April 12 (U.P.)—Twelve persons were treated in a hospital here today for injuries sustained when seven cars of a Pere Marquette passenger train left the rails. The accident occurred as the train neared Indiana Harbor en route to Grand Rapids, Mich. Six other cars remained on the rails. Cause of the derajlment had not been determined.

But it’s not quite as easy .as it sounds. It takes considerable practice to learn how to adjust those cross hairs—] tried it. No matter how much I adjusted the four knobs, the target somehow kept slipping away from me. r students never do get the knack of it, accounting for many of those who are assigned to other duty. The problem becomes slightly greater at high altitudes because the apparent motion of the target is less. However, once adjusted, the Norden sight is almost as accurate at 25,000 feet as it is at 5000. The sight can be used effectively at ghts considerably greater than lanes now are able fo operate.
/ Moving Targets No Obstacle
There is little difference in the operation when the sight is used to bomb a moving target, such as a ship or railroad train, Here again, the telescope is trained until the target appears to he fixed at the cross hairs’ intersection. The sight under such conditions automatically makes compensations for three motions—the plane itself, the plane’s drift sideways if there is a cross-wind, and the target's motion. In the case of a zig-zagging ship, however, the bombardier must guess which way it will be turning when the bombs arrive. He can be right most of the time: by watching its wake.
