Kay Kyser was a hugely well-known band pioneer before Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman or Tommy Dorsey. Around 1941-1943, Big Bands appeared at the Stockton California Air Field in the USO. In the middle of the WWll, this landing strip was home to the West Coast Army Air Corp Training Center.
The Norden bomb-sight was a tachymetric bomb-sight used by the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) and the U.S. Navy during World War II, and the U.S. Air Force in the Korean and Vietnam Wars to help a group of airships to drop bombs precisely. Two highlights were key to the Norden’s activity; a simple PC that always determined the direction of the bomb, depending on current flight conditions, and a link to the aircraft’s autopilot that allowed it to respond quickly and precisely to changes in the breeze or different impacts.
