Carl Norden & the Norden bombsight: Carl Lucas Norden (1880-1965), inventer of the high-altitude precision Norden bombsight used in WWII was born in Semerang, Java.
The accuracy would depend on being able to see the target, and haze or
cloud would not help!
See his entry in the National Aviation Hall of Fame (go to WWII section) on:
