[Milsurplus] Pacific air combat navigation WW2

[Hue Miller]

Dunno if i've already posted this quote from "War Pilot: True Tales of Combat and 
Adventure", Richard Kirkland,  1999:

"A few days later, some of our pilots were scheduled to fly a mission with Lindbergh......
We were told that Lindbergh had some kind of special permission...and could fly a 
P-38 with us on a combat mission....Our course took us west over New Guinea and out
into the Ceram Sea. It was dead-reckoning navigation, with no radio aids of any kind.
That's the way we did it in that war. Just take up a mag heading on the compass and 
hope for the best. "
