Bombardier ( aircrew ) A bombardier or bomb aimer was the crew member of a bomber aircraft responsible for the targeting of aerial bomb s . " Bomb Aimer " was the preferred term in the military forces of the Commonwealth , while " Bombardier " ( from the French word for " bomb thrower " and similar in meaning to " grenadier " ) was the equivalent position in the United States Armed Forces . In many planes , the bombardier took control of the airplane during the bombing run , using a bombsight such as the Norden bombsight which was connected to the autopilot of the plane . Often stationed in the extreme front of the aircraft , on the way to the target and after releasing the bombs he could also serve as the front gunner in aircraft that had a front turret . In the latter part of the 20th century , the title of bombardier fell into disuse , due largely to changes in technology , emanating from the replacement of this manual function with the development of computerized technology and smart bomb s , that has given rise to terms like weapons systems officer or combat systems officer ( CSO ) to describe the modern role . In the United States , the position of bombardier was originally held by a sergeant , but they were commissioned as officers in 1941 . In the Commonwealth , a bomb aimer could be an officer or ( more frequently ) a senior non - commissioned officer ( sergeant or above ) . During World War II , US Army Air Forces bombardiers were recognized with the award of the Bombardier Badge . With the establishment of an independent US Air Force in 1947 , USAF bombardiers were awarded the wings known as the Navigator badge , now known as the Combat Systems Officer badge . The equivalent in the US Navy and US Marine Corps is the Naval Flight Officer . The aircraft of the United Kingdom ' s V bomber force carried two navigators , one of whom acted as bombardier having the official title of " Navigator Radar " .

Battle of the 300 Champions The Battle of the 300 Champions was a battle fought in roughly 546 BC between Argos and Sparta . Rather than commit full armies both sides agreed to pitting 300 of their best men against each other . Both sides would not allow for any injured men to be taken . The day called for complete destruction of the enemy force for victory . The two armies were evenly matched and neither could gain the upper hand . After a bloody battle only three men remained , two Argives and one Spartan . The Argives left the battlefield believing that they had killed all of the Spartans , but they made one mistake . Orthryades , an injured Spartan had still survived and was technically the last man standing on the battlefield for either army claimed victory . He survived long enough to tell his baggage handlers of his victory , and then he committed suicide . The reason for the suicide is up for debate , but the act is of great importance . Orthryades did not die by an Argive sword , and the Spartans could always claim that he survived the battle and killed himself in shame , thus gaining an upper hand due to this act of honor . Argos did not take too kindly to the Spartans claiming victory and sent their entire hoplite army which was met by a Spartan force of equal magnitude . The Spartans won a decisive victory and as a result gained control of Thyreatis . Years later , in 420 BC during a lull in the Peloponnesian War , Argos challenged Sparta to a rematch of the Battle of the 300 Champions . Sparta declined . Notes . 1 .
