The guns on the Boeing B-29 were computerized. Does anyone know how they worked? Was there a centralized computer? Could they fire at more than one target at the same time? Ive been looking at B-29 internet sites but haven't found any info yet.

Polzin,

I get good results searching with the "Copernic 2001 Basic" tool. This is free if you don't want to use all facilities. Just download and install. Do search with "B-29" and "computer".

For example, the following:
