I'm going to guess the last successful airliner without a computer was
the Boeing 737 original version. And the largest sucessful airliner
without a computer was the Boeing 747 original. And I believe the last
successful large bomber without a computer was the B-47. Can anyone
confirm or refute this?

The B-47 had a bombing and navigation system that included an analog
computer.

Yeah, but he defined computer, and his definition clearly limits it to
digital computers.

Well "his definition" should have come before his claim of what didn't have
them.

Nah, if he wants to use his own definition of a computer his post should
have started with it.
So when his opening paragraph was garbage, the rest of it got dumped.
