This topic has come up from time to time. To further this discussion I am 
attaching excerpts from two references. First, AFM 64-5, "Survival." This 
manual contains a nomogram for this determination. Second, excerpts from 
Gatty's "Raft Book." There is a detailed table on the back of his world map 
for this computation. There are also instructions for making a "bow" to use 
in measuring altitudes. Both of these books also contain methods for 
determining longitude by timing sunrise.
