Dead-reckoning navigation depends on the ability of the observer to check the course every now and then with known landmarks which are indicated on his map and to correct his course accordingly.
In the old days, the observer in a British bomber, who makes the calculations which keep the machine on its course and guides it to the objective - possibly an arms factory deep in Germany - depended mainly on what is called dead-reckoning navigation. Training at the school goes beyond the observers' training course originally laid down under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. (In England, bells will sound only when the invader has come). The personnel, only recently arrived in Canada, are still trying to figure their money in terms of dollars and cents, still trying not to jump out of their seats when they hear a railway locomotive's bell.

The tracts of farmland were to be developed as a huge airport to be used in connection with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
