One of the greatest accomplishments of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II was the rapid training of hundreds of thousands of flying and ground personnel. This fall, the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force invites students and history enthusiasts to step into that story through an immersive Bombardier School program led by renowned Norden Bombsight expert Dr. Tim Moore.
Attendees will plot real flight paths using dead reckoning and operate an authentic Norden Bombsight, one of the most important technological innovations of the air war. Dr. Moore will guide participants through the process, offering insights into mathematics, engineering, and split-second decision-making that defined these critical missions.
