Les asked:
Hey Art, did you guys have a drift meter? Curious.

Add on question,
Anyone here ever fly a "Double Drift" leg after training? By 1965 it
wasn't
even taught in USAF Nav course except as a two minute discussion in the
basic
equipment ground course.
It was like the intro to loran "This is the APN.9 (?).and you'll never
see
it
again, we use the XXX now" The first "Shakey that I got on had the old
set
sigh and it didn't work double sigh

Taking an entire group of 56 Marauders through a double drift when you
could
have gotten the same result in 15 seconds on the Norden, without even
changing
course, didn't make much sense (sigh)
