River Rat 1 Posted September 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2010 The Navigator was a important part of the crew with out him you could not find your target or find your way back home.Here are a few things he would of used. In the collection you will see a Elgin A-11 wrist watch with a trench art bracelet,Elgin timer,Elgin AN-5740 with 24hrs dial and metal canister,Hamilton Model 23 Navigational stopwatch. Here is the Hamilton in a Mark III Mod.5,Octant.If the Navigator was just a little off it had real consequences like the B-24 the Lady Be Good going off course on it return to base and being found in the 1950's in the desert of Libya.Here is a link to the story really sad they did not make it home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Be_Good_(aircraft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
