Bombadiers were part of the crew of bombers with the special job during the bombing run of sighting up the target in order to drop the bombs on or as near the target as possible. When the bomber approached the target, the pilot handed over the control of the plane to the bombadier who then, while looking into the sighting mechanism called the Norden Bombsight. The bombadier had control of the toggle switch which actually released the bombs. After dropping the bombs, the bombadier became one of the gunners on the bomber as the plane made its way back to the base.

Major Thomas Ferebee the Bombardier.He was responsible for operation of the Norden bombsight. After setting the bombsight up and locating the Aim Point in its crosshairs he requested Colonel Paul Tibbets the Commander and Pilot to transfer control of the plane to the bombsight. Once he verified that the Norden bombsight was properly controlling the plane Ferebee flipped the Autorelease switch on the bombsight to allow the bombsight to do the drop automatically without further attention. After that he had nothing more to do until a second or so after the bomb dropped, when he flipped a switch on the bombsight returning control of the plane back to Tibbets.
Sperry Top siders tend to break in much faster, and are much more comfortable in the break in period. Where as Sebago's are much more stiff and tend to hurt in the break in period but are much more stable and have more body to them than the more supple leather of Sperry's
about 50 bucks!!!!!!!!! Sorta expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
