I suspect the person who wrote the article is my age and most folks think "computers" started in about 1982... -Curt

Several places in this article mention the B-52 as "now having computers." Here's a little correction: B-52's have ALWAYS had computers - bombing/navigation, fire control (gunnery) and radar jamming computers that have worked very well. Even B-17's, B-24's, B-29's, B-36's, B-50's, B-47's and others had computers - less "sophisticated" than those in use now, of course, but computers are NOT NEW to military aircraft. My first computer training was for those on B-52's in 1961.
