books on the nordon bomb sight?

[GraveRobber]

Hi all,
Are there any good books on the Nordon bomb sight? Any detail description on
how it functions and its internals? We have put a Nordon in our B-25 and I
would like to know more about it.

This isn't quite what you asked after, but very interested related reading:

Stephen L. McFarland, "America's Pursuit of Precision Bombing, 1910-1945,"
Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington and London, 1995, ISBN 1-56098-407-4

Much of it, I'm afraid, is about how _poorly_ the Norden worked.

The nordon bombsight was a significant source of contention between the US
and the UK in 1940. By the time the US had relaxed the UK was losing
interest. There are the remains of a US bomb sight in our local museum but
it is not clear whether its is a Nordon.
