People are funny things, the most scientific of people will make assumptions with no factual base to make them. If the people designing the Norden bomb sight considered what the worlds weather actually is at 25-30,000 ft everywhere in the world, not just the bombing ranges where US bombers were tried out, history may have been different. The world had known about high altitude air currents since Krakatoa exploded in1883 but not everyone was paying attention to what it meant.We need an insightfull award. I never would have thought of the B-29 performing the role of a "Big, Fast Mosquito". You're right.
