More information about Admiral Coutinho.
He and his pilot used celnav when crossing the south Atlantic and pioneered the single LOP landfall procedure to find some islands along the way including St. Peter's and St. Paul's rocks, a tiny landfall, much smaller than the islands Chichester found in 1931 using the same technique.
