I can tell you that from a Cessna 152 on up through a '67, navigating the aircraft from wherever they gained control to visually acquiring their targets was essentially a "no-brainer".
Whether they used the Mark-1 eyeball, hand-held Garmin GPS, LORAN, on-board instrumentation, whatever, getting to visual range was nothing.
Sadly, actaully hitting the targets after sighting them was some decent stick and rudder flying.
Morbidly, on MS Flight Simulator, with the good scenery data, you could practice hitting major landmarks over and over.
Yep. The old morbid joke back on older versions of FS (when the default startup flight put you on runway 36 at Chicago's dearly-departed Meigs Field) was "so how many times have you hit the Sears Tower, and how many of them were intentional?"
