Sorry, I missed this one JK..... how the hell did those early flyers find their way around terrain like that.

[jankees]

with a compass I guess? and by staying close to the coast in lots of cases.
Still, lots of them disappeared in terrain like that, check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Be_Good_(aircraft)

This aircraft featured in the movie 'the English Patient' together with this one:

Great reply JK, and a very interesting link.
Also excellent shots. The English patient is an excellent movie, wasn't there a Moth in Out of Africa?
