Halifax 111 Pilot's Notes

Cliffnemo
The Halifax Pilot's notes are in the post.
Exgroundcrew
When I mentioned Spitfire Navigation to a pal he pointed out that they learned their local area just as we did, but they had the advantage of VHF. I first met VHF when flying Oxfords in 1946, and it was wonderful to be able to get a bearing to base by holding the transmit switch on your mike for a few seconds.
Once over base the landing drill was the same for all aircraft, day or night.
"First Light" gives a first class example of Navigation without Radio and in thick overcast.
