littlebuddy Posted February 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2014 I thought id start my own little thread to show the new project im working on . Navigation items used by the USAAF ( now theres a surprise ,i hear you all say !! ) As you can see , there are a few holes in the set up that i need to get hold of at some point , maybe some of you kind members could help ?? Anyway this is just the start so please, if you don't see something which you think should be there , please let me know . I am waiting on a couple of other pieces turning up to help further this little project on LB P.S I know about the A4 navigator dead reckoning case !!!
