Finished reading The Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell. Interesting segment on Mr. Norden.

Must admit to being con-ned on the Norden sight hairs, myself and did an article on Mary Babnic who had hair down to her knees shorn off to provide strands for Norden cross-hairs. Was a good story too - she gave enough hair so that Norden cancelled their requirement for more.
