Did rita hayworth help with the norden bombsight?

Answer 1

Not to my knowledge, she was popular with the servicemen, as a design with her picture on it was placed on the head of one of the earliest Atomic Bombs used in a bomb-test at Bikini Island. The plane may have been codenamed Rita Hayworth , also, not to be outdone- but well not officially- there was a saying among members of the Royal Italian Navy- possibly behind the Periscopes and sighting apparatus- To Gina, we set up our sights. This is a parody on a prayer with the line- to Thee do we send up out sighs. Setting up sights sounds better- alas- Poor, Banished children of- Klieg!
