NavList:

Hi all,

This being my first message in the NavList, I want to thank those who have contributed in the past and especially Frank for making all this precious information available! I have been reading up on many posts of the past and could learn a lot from it, as well as finding inspiration along the way.

After reading "Fate is the hunter" by Ernest K Gann and looking through Garry LaPook's website, I wanted to learn more about proper air navigation.
The following has possibly been of interest and answered in the past. But I could not find what I was looking for through the search feature:

Upon studying celestial air navigation procedures in navigator training manuals etc., I am strongly interested to look through historical flight plans, navigator logs, sight data and plots to get a better impression of navigation routines in the real environment through real life examples. I can`t imagine that such files don`t exist in some archive, but with few incomplete ans superficial exceptions, have not been able to finde what I am looking for online.

It would also be very interesting, to see how navigation routines changed as aircraft performance and navigation equippment and procedures became more sophisticated with time.
Does someone by chance share that interest and/or have access to files or archives in question?

CAVOK and NOSIG,
Julian
