John,
It's air navigation. The horizon is not visible unless you fly very low. And in any case they had normal Sun sights readily available. There was no need for sunrise/sunset sights, and there is ZERO evidence that Noonan ever tried them. Van Asten is simply an incompetent bullshit artist. His posts are jargon-coated trash.
