摘要

In the aviation enthusiasm of the 1930s, it was popular to claim that Air Corps bombardiers could drop a bomb into a pickle barrel from high altitude. In 1940, Theodore H. Barth, president of Carl L. Norden Inc., said that "we do not regard a 15-foot square... as being a very difficult target to hit from an altitude of 30,000 feet," provided the bombardier was using that company's new M-4 bombsight connected to an autopilot. That was stretching it considerably. In everyday practice in 1940, the aver- age score for an Air Corps bombardier was a circular error of 400 feet, and that was from the relatively forgiving altitude of 15,000 feet instead of 30,000. Nobody knows for sure where the "pickle barrel" imagery began. The term may have been coined by Norden's Barth, who was among its most energetic popularizers. Norden was not alone in spreading the legend. Some Air Force bombardiers spoke proudly of tossing bombs into a 100-foot circle from four miles up.

Barth)说:“我们不认为15英尺见方……是从30,000英尺高空击中的非常困难的目标,”轰炸机正在使用该公司的新型M-4轰炸机与自动驾驶仪连接。那大大延长了它。在1940年的日常实践中,空军陆军轰炸机的平均得分是400英尺的循环误差,这是从相对宽容的15,000英尺而不是30,000英尺的高度得出的。没有人能确定“腌制桶”图像从何而来。这个词可能是Norden的Barth创造的,他是Barth最具活力的推广者之一。诺登并不孤单地传播这个传奇。一些空军轰炸机引以为傲的是将炸弹从四英里外抛入一个100英尺的圈内。
