McFarland (history, Auburn U.) traces the development of two interrelated technologies, bombsights and automatic pilots, from the first efforts in 1910 to stabilize aircraft during bombing to the atomic bombing of Japan. Drawing on primary documents he explains how the US government and the public wanted to hone bombing into a precise and effective instrument to end wars quickly with the fewest number of civilian casualties, and how the famous Nordon bombsight contributed to most of the destruction of military and industrial targets in Japan and Germany during World War II.
