Never heard of a Bombardier-Navigator.

What I meant to say was never heard of a Navigator-Bombardier in WWII.
The B-26/A-26 self-described Bombardier-Navigators were just that. None of
them were dual rated and were classified as Bombardiers. They were given
rudimentary Dead Reckoning, map reading and E-6B training.
Then the aircraft manufacturers designated the chap in the nose, a
Bombardier-Navigator.
The USAAC, the USAAF and the USAF never had a Military Occupational
Specialty Code or Air Force Specialty Code for a Navigator-Bombardier or a
Bombardier-Navigator, nor was there a set of Wings that identified such a
person or Aeronautical Rating.
