Why sure. You supply the B-52, and it pops right in. ;-)

The description seems a bit confused. If it's an astrocompass, then the
reading "in the cockpit" would be true heading rather than latitude and
longitude, right? And would an astrocompass intended for Arctic navigation
use Polaris? It seems to me that in high latitudes, this would not be a
great choice (since Polaris would be near the zenith and the azimuth lines
converge there).

Sure looks cool. He's probably right about the value of that little glass
dome.
