I remember the A-12 sextant is"famous" because it was used on this trip for celestial nav? Regards HermanD
How much of the celestial readings and intercepts would have been recorded in the main log, and how much on separate pre-computing sheets? One might have expected LORAN readings and radio compass bearings to have been logged in the main log, but I don’t know about celestial. It’s hardly worth paying $195 to find out. DaveP
