The games in this book were made to help the navigators of Bomber
Command improve the chances of locating their target. Written by
Sir Francis Chichester, the games reflected his vast experience at
the exacting art of pinpoint navigation. This book was first
published in 1942 at the heart of World War II. Bomber Command was
flying regularly to hit targets on the content, but the navigators
in the individual bombers were struggling to find the targets.
Using his experience of long-distance flying, Chichester created
three games to help the navigators improve their skills prior to
operations. Game 1 was a game of chance, game 2 involved finding
the correct longitude and latitude, but game 3 required the player
to correctly locate themselves on the map. Reading the paragraphs
that describe the situation, then studying the map for clues offers
insight into the difficulties faced during the early stages of the
bombing campaign, before electronic navigation aids became
widespread.
