Norden bombsight – German intelligence’s GREATEST SUCCESS in USA
Norden bombsight was used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was an early tachometric design that directly measured the aircraft's ground speed and direction, which older bombsights could only estimate with manual procedures. The Norden further improved an older designs by using an analog computer that continuously recalculated the bomb's impact point
based on changing flight conditions, and an autopilot that reacted quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects. Together, these features promised unprecedented accuracy for daytime bombing from high altitudes. During prewar testing the Norden demonstrated a circular error probable of 23 m, an astonishing performance for that period. This precision would enable direct attacks on, factories, and other point targets. To protect these advantages, the Norden was granted the utmost secrecy, and was part of a production effort on a similar scale as the Manhattan Project.
In spite of the security precautions, the entire Norden system had been passed to Germany even before the war started.
This operation was led by major Nikolaus Ritter Chief an officer in the Abwehr (German military intelligence) who led spyrings in the United States and Great Britain from 1936 to 1941.
