HeadOfSteel Posted August 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2013 Has anybody else here seen this? It looks Navy with the anchor stamp. Pretty cool. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-AAF-USAAF-CARL-L-NORDEN-BOMBSIGHT-B24-B25-B26-B29-WWII-US-ARMY-AIR-FORCES-/130960857452?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7de0196c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuron Posted November 27, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2013 The guy probably bought it for a buck too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 27, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 27, 2013 Time was when the Norden bomb-sight was hi-tech / state-of-the art / top secret and protected by armed guards....and now it's on eBay. How things change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ashooter Posted November 27, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2013 I would love to have one sitting in my den. Then I think I could convince my wife that I needed the rest of the aircraft to complete the collection. So far a A2 jacket hasnt helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted November 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 27, 2013 This is very interesting. It cuts segments of the old movie "Bombardier" with documentary footage about the Norden bombsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin1932 Posted April 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2014 As I remember as a high school student in the late 1940s there was a war surplus mail order store in Philadelphia by the name of Herbach and Rademan. They would publish a flyer monthly or so with a variety of surplus electronics. One of the items was the Norden bomb sight for the price of ~$12.95 or so plus 4th class postage which from Philadelphia might have been $2. As a poor farm boy, I did not have enough cash to buy even one. Much of the surplus that my brothers and I bought deteroprated in the weather as we had little storage for non essentials. One of the more valuable items, a back pack parachute was stolen from the garage attic in the 1960s. My dad could have bought a P-38 or P-47 for what he paid for a self-propelled combine in 1948. The combine sold for ~$300 on Dad's farm sale in 1963 when he quit farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
