Good luck trying to find one. I have asked for the same photo on this forum before but with no luck.

I also tried the CAF and severl web sites on the Norden Bomb Sight and they also had nothing.


A friend of mine has tried for years to find one but he too also had no luck.

If you get one please lets us know here.

Nice Find OSP!...but no cigar.. Though a rare photo.. A Droopsnoot converted to a
Pathfinder. Down-looking radar equiped bird leading bombing missions over cloud covered
targets. Probably a very early example..a field prototype?
