90th Bomb Group Message Board

Message No. 476

New Guinea is a huge island larger than most European Countries. Your other Question Re: Norden bomb sites. I don't know who maintained the bomb site serial numbers by plane. I never heard any reference to such. The sights were permantly mounted in each plane, just like a gun or radio.
