Does anyone know if RAF Bomber Command Navigators were issued with wind curves, at any period during WWII, for use with their DR? As I understand it these were graphs of wind speed and direction that showed the forecast wind along the required track of a forthcoming operation and were designed to be more user-friendly than the met info given in form 2330. By plotting their found winds in the same way they could then easily compare the two and would be able to assess the validity of the forecast winds to better select the wind velocities to be used in their DR.
