Hello, everyone, new to the site. My father was in the AAF in WWII. I have had a lifelong interest in WWII aviation; my childhood pen-pal was Jimmy Doolittle. I obtained my first Norden bombsight a few years ago, and since then have been restoring them to full running condition for myself, others, and museums. I have worked with the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah and the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. I have also restored numerous bombardier and navigator items and have made teaching videos which can be seen on my YouTube channel Wistarmo. I recently acquired the largest stock of Norden bombsights anywhere and will be restoring them to full function. I have also restored an Estoppey bombsight and am working on a Sperry bombsight. My guiding principle is that everything I own must work and I must know how to work it. My goal is to preserve this technology as living history and a tribute to those men who designed and used it. It is one thing to read about all of the incredible tools our WWII aviators used, but to see it in operation really makes a difference in understanding.
