Having been built in the U.S., the Norden must be the best.

ah believe me, us Europeans have a well structured multi-layered view of the thing, we were all at the receiving end of the Norden bombsights here, or the Lofte or the others..
I have American friends and I'm happy they're all fellows that believe and stand for the same values that we have here, but sometimes one wonders whether we've pushed things too far with this idea of "exporting democracy by means of suppressive fire". The expression "Economy of war" springs to mind more and more often unfortunately
