They look so antiquated but can they do the damage. Thanks for the photo's. The original Big Bird is what they should have called them. Thanks Again

The B17 helped win WW2 with its Payloads and new improved Bomb-site! Wouldn't surprise me if the B17's Bomb site was still classified after all these years for its accuracy.

Geez! I thought the flight station on a C-141 was cramped but that's ridiculous!

Gerry, as good as the Norden was I doubt it's nearly as accurate as the stuff we have today. A properly guided smart bomb could put the same payload right up some mullah's ass.
