Thank you Francisco for your time to find those data base references. Yes, i to find it strange, odd even, that there is no timing device. Odder still when you consider the B-52`s role as a strategic bomber, with no cockpit timer?
Pilot's chronographs? Well, if past history and preferences run true to form, NASA pilots and Astronauts plumb for (in no list of importance, only alphabetecal) Breitling,Hamilton ,Rolex etc. With Heuer, unfortunately, somewhere near the bottom of the list.
Thank you, Roger.
