Agreed . Mr.P.Mantz , citing a before-flight interview with mr.Noonan says that he used to go on an offset course after having computed a time of arrival at destination via the direct track and by speed lines . He then waited "until your time comes" for the line over destination , to consequently turn inbound for a small island . If taken literally that means he flew the offset-inbound tracks by time-distance DR . Source : Biography of Mantz "Hollywood Pilot" by Dwiggins .
