In the 1943 movie Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon our intrepid detective battles
the evil Dr. Moriarity over possession of an ingenious new secret weapon, a bomb sight
capable of deadly accuracy.

Shown here, the device looks remarkably like a simple darkroom enlarger:

Here's a clip from the movie. The "bomb sight" shows up about 4 minutes in:

In this time the bomb sight was really truly America and Britain's most secret weapon. I'm sure there is more than hollywood in the deception there as in 1943 this technology was playing a decisive role in the war.
