The simplest and most reliable instrument in an airplane, ship& sub. is the magnetic compass. Although it might be easier to steer by the gyrosyn compass, the simple magnetic compass should have been the standard to rely upon.
That a real good point to make. The Navy still calls the magnetic compass the standard.
