The Norden bomb-sight was nothing special. It was an intentional planted myth to ensure that the bombardiers did their job properly by staying committed to its instruments and not drop free hand as there would be no excuse from the technical side when their bombs got way off the mark. This simple psychological trick worked well enough to get much better results.

We have a group of old ex Aircraft Mechanics near us restoring a B24.
They had a display at the local shopping mall and it included was a Norden Bomb Sight. Quite big in fact, about 18" cubic and it looked very heavy.
