Trade Review
This is a first-rate book.... At its core, this is a meticulously researched, nicely written 'biography' of the widely renowned, but in fact little-known Norden bombsight and its curious relationship to American strategic bombing doctrine and practice. It is a bizarre and ironic story. - Technology and Culture ""McFarland captures the grand scale as well as the technical details of bombsight development [and] links it well to politics and strategy."" - Science ""Fundamental reading for any reasoned look at American bombing in World War II."" - Journal of American History ""An excellent book about a crucial yet surprisingly neglected subject."" - Air & Space Power Journal
