The Navigational Implications of Mr. Durst's Paper
It is not possible at this stage to do more than hint at the possible alterations in navigational procedures which the new knowledge contained in Mr. Durst's paper on the accuracy of dead reckoning in the air logically leads to. This is so for two reasons. First, existing navigational procedure...
