Never heard of a Bombardier-Navigator.
There were in WWII - Pilots, Navigators and Bombardiers.
Once the Jets came in they were sent to
Aerial Observer School at Mather as I remember and were issued anew set of
Wings and MOS (1037), never saw a pair of Navigator or Bombardier Wings
after early 1950's?
The B-47 Pilot AC's were sent to Ellington for Navigation School, then
Mather for Radar and Bombardier Schools, thus authorizing them to be rated
in 4 Specialties and wear 4 different sets of Wings. They were known as
4 -Headed Monsters!

Five examples of Bombardier-Navigators
