The very earliest history of the CORDIC computing technique - a highly efficient method to compute elementary functions - is presented. The CORDIC technique was born out of necessity, the incentive being the replacement of the analog navigation computer of the B-58 aircraft by a high accuracy, high-performance digital computer. The revolutionary development of the CORDIC technique is presented, along with details of the very first implementations: the CORDIC I prototype and the CORDIC II airborne digital navigation computer.
