Extract

Development of Dead Reckoning in the Air. Air navigation is the child of sea navigation. Hence navigation across the skies tended to follow the pattern of navigation across the oceans. It was built around the dead-reckoning plot, into which was fed all varieties of information. At take-off and landing, there was also a little pilotage, but this was hardly mentioned in polite air navigation circles.
