DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Primer of Air Navigation Prior to the year 1919 there was little occasion for long-distance air navigation: the subject has, however, become one which requires study, and the remarkable transatlantic flights of 1919 have shown that the art of sea navigation can with suitable modifications be applied to the air. The purpose of this little book is to show in simple language how this can best be done and how when sea-going methods fail others can be devised to take their place. The net result is that although the long experience and tradition of sea navigators forms the convenient basis on which air pilotage and navigation is founded, the latter have individuality enough to substantiate a claim for separate treatment. As at sea, so in the air, the navigator's duty is to keep his dead reckoning position and, as opportunity offers, to check this position by such other methods as are available. This D.R. work is equally necessary in Air Pilotage and Air Navigation. The checks in the case of the former are references to maps and the recognition of the country flown over; in the latter they are the methods of directional wireless and astronomical observation.
