I need some advice on ocean navigation during WW2 when there was nothing like GPS and radio silence had to be maintained. I know about Mercator, whole circle track, etc but I need to know how accurate dead reckoning was in practice. How often were fixes taken and how far off track was typical. If you can help or know somebody who knows somebody who did it for real I would be grateful for a contact. 663 April 16 2009 at 16:43:28 Full Name: Robert George Ferguson Email: royferg@btinternet.com Home Town?: Belfast Message Text: JOINED FIRST SHIP MV WILLOWBANK IN LIVERPOOL 1/04/1975 AS A 6TH ENGINEER, ALSO WORKED FOR SCOTTISH SHIP MANAGEMENT,HEADLAM . &SON,STAGLINE,UNITED ARAB, BLUE STAR LINE,SEALINK P&O,AND A FEW OTHERS.
