Thanks for that! It did make me curious because compared to more recent equipment, what was developed for WW II was actually quite effective at doing what it needed to. I daresay part of that is exactly why Eisenhower became so worried about the military industrial complex that was in business for the sake of making money rather than serving the needs of the soldier or the nation. As it happens, I just watched the movie The Pentagon Wars last night. Although it was framed as a satire, it was based on an actual event and the memoirs of the central character. And the reality was nothing to laugh about.
