Historical maritime input to aviation
Having been flying professionally for qurater of a century I'm in the middle of my mid life crisis so have taken up sub aqua diving.
Obviously been aware of a number of areas where aviation adopted navy practices but am interested to know how many other examples are out there...starter for ten
1 - Rank of Capt / F/O
2 - Port Stbd and tail lighting / right of way rules
3 - Boarding passengers from the PORT side
4 - Terminology such as wake, cargo, hold etc
Going the other way we brought to the party
i - Mayday
ii - ELTs
