Found this interesting passage in John Tolland's book "The Rising Sun (the decline and fall of the Japanese Empire 1936 - 1945)
At exactly 12:30pm, Doolittle was over his target. Using a twenty-cent "Mark Twain" bombing device, which was more accurate for a low altitude attack than the overrated Norden bombsight, Fred Braemer released the first bomb.
Does anybody have any information on this bombing device? Curious.
thx
