Hello all, I subscribed to this list hoping to learn something about the flashing-beacon system used to guide aircraft along airways before the advent of electronic aids to navigation. I have exhausted all of the resources at my library, most of them just two-liners or so. Haven't had any meaningful success with search engines either. Can someone help me gather additional information on this system? It was in use from the early to mid 1920s up to about the late 1940s I think. Any help appreciated. Charlie
