Decided to stop at a flea market on the way back from a show on Sunday and came across these on a dealer's table. Price was okay so I decided to pick them up...not too bad of a haul.

 

There are some flight planners, dead reckoning computers, and charts.

 

Let me know what you think.

This is the most interesting one for me.

 

It is a standard flight plotter/computer, which has an aerial photograph of St. Nazaire on the back w/ plotted route.

yeah very nice score. I used to take a real pride in making calculations on the E6-B while learning flying. These "Whiz Wheels" could tell you so much useful information.

Nice score...the E6B is way cool....all are, however the E6B jumps out....I also learned to navigate with one...wonder how many pilots use them today...I would imagine all digital.....
