Article by Lt Col Patrick Montoya, from Combat Crew (Strategic Air Command magazine), April 1958. "A new slant on polar problems presented for both navigator and pilot." "While of primary interest to the SAC navigator, this article is also presented to give pilots a better understanding of what goes on 'down in the hole.' Polar navigation is without a doubt the most controversial facet of aerial getting around. The very words 'polar' and 'grid' tend to shake the novice right down to his power fuse." https://books.google.com/books?id=JIRZn-7u2aIC&pg=RA9-PA26
