Lindbergh on dropping a bomb and the distancing effect of technology

"When I pressed the red button on my stick, it was hard to believe I had released a high-explosive bomb.  But there it was, deadly and irretrievable, apparently floating in the air. I saw it clearly for a moment as I climbed, and within seconds a pinhead puff of smoke appeared behind me in the city of Rabaul, a puff so small and far away that I could not connect it with the button on my stick, or realize the writhing hell it covered on the ground.  I had carried out my mission, and felt little responsibility for what I had done."

From Lindbergh's Autobiography of Values
