Extract

In the second issue of the Journal a system of grid navigation was described. This system warrants serious consideration because of its application to polar navigation and because it offers a means of simplifying navigation in high-performance single-seater aircraft of long range. These aircraft are going to present extreme difficulties, particularly in naval aviation, where fixing facilities and pilotage are limited.
