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.
