There is a book entitled "Avigation", authored by Bradley Jones, and
published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, and Chapman & Hall, Ltd.,
London, in 1931, that covers air navigation methods of that era in quite
some detail, and covers all the celestial methods then in use, both
surface and air.
