How about some from the best seat in the house?

Looking at Berkeley through a Norden.

How did I miss that post?

Chas S. Clifton said...: Here is the key paragraph from the Wikipedia article:

"n Europe the Norden likewise demonstrated a poor real-world accuracy. Under perfect conditions only 50 percent of American bombs fell within a quarter of a mile of the target, and American flyers estimated that as many as 90 percent of bombs could miss their targets.[1][2][3] Nevertheless many veteran B-17 and B-24 bombardiers swore by the Norden."

So, dirtcrashr, you will probably miss.; 10:59 PM, June 20, 2008
