I had no idea that fire control computers in airplanes were so sophisticated in the 1940s. Truly amazing! I don't know what I thought, but I guess I assumed that air battles back then relied primarily on line-of-sight and tracers to compensate.

It's amazing how effective automation can completely transform an activity and elevate it to a new plane of effectiveness. I'll channel Andreessen and say: technology is eating the world.
