Abstract

Wing Commander Anderson, the author of The Principles of Navigation in which he emphasized the essential unity of philosophy which underlies all forms of navigation, has further developed this concept in two papers in this Journal published in 1980, ‘Navigational Measurements’ and ‘The Magic of Animal Navigation’ (Vol. 33, pp. 33 and 444). In the present paper he examines further in non-mathematical terms some of the difficulties met with in the analysis of rotations in navigation, including the effects of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
