RE: How Emelia Earhart's Plane Got So Far Off Course
Even the WWI pilots flying over the English Channel needed to navigate somehow, and in the heavy clouds it was nearly impossible. Imagine having to do it over the seemingly never ending ocean! Indeed, the slightest miscalculation.
Yes, navigation was still very difficult at that time, it was just a few years after that when they came out with equipment on planes which let them know where they were but then pioneers and adventurers take those kind of risks. Much braver than I would have been!
