Actually, it is available through Dover books. It's been republished under the title "Finding your Way Without Map and Compass," but is the same book. I'm using this as a text in my seminar. There is a word of warning - some of the things in Gatty's book has been shown to be incorrectly.

Welcome John.I haven't read it or even managed to get hold of it, but I'd love to get my hands on "Nature is your guide: how to find your way on land & sea", written by the famous air navigator Harold Gatty. Many years before he penned this work, he acted as Wiley Post's navigator on their record-breaking round the world flight in 1931. I obviously cannot endorse it personally, but perhaps this book could supplement your reading on primitive navigation.Regards,Christian Scheele
