EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant artifact from the 1940s - a Type AN 5835-1 dead reckoning computer owned by Fenton B. Sands, an African-American First Lieutenant Navigator-Bombardier with the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. Dr. Sands was one of the pioneering black navigator-bombardiers and served with distinction in the 617th Bombardment Squadron of the 477th Composite Group. The dead reckoning computer is depicted with its yellow plastic base featuring a green grid, which serves as a visual aid for navigation calculations. The circular dials on either side of a slide display degrees and cardinal points, while measurements are indicated in black on clear plastic rulers attached to the back. Manufactured by J. B Carroll Co. , this invaluable navigational instrument played a crucial role in guiding aircraft during wartime missions. The black circular rings held together with wire bear important information such as manufacturers' details and object name. Currently housed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact represents not only technological advancement but also highlights the exceptional contributions made by African Americans to aviation history. It stands as a testament to Dr. Sands' bravery, skill, and dedication to serving his country amidst challenging circumstances. Through this photograph, we gain insight into both military history and cultural heritage, reminding us of the remarkable achievements accomplished by individuals like Fenton B. Sands within their respective fields despite facing discrimination based on race or ethnicity.
