Content: The author RAF career started in 1942 and ended in 1974. It covered a period when the navigation of aircraft changed from astro, dead reckoning and drift bearing all plotted by pencil on charts, to radio, radar and other advanced systems. Now that satellite systems can instantly pinpoint a position to within 5 meters, the once vital skills of a good navigator are mostly redundant. This autobiography by one of the RAF's experienced exponent's of both the ancient and modern forms of the art explains in considerable detail how this rapid and revolutionary improvement occurred in the air.
