Simple, we duplicated the AT function that Bloggs, et al describe for cruise. But we did it by using the available steam gauges. So an AT would have been nice on our longer missions.

Our TF-41 was the first fan for a single-motor jet in USAF, and it behaved differently than the pure turbojets the others used, although the Vaark had fans.
