Abstract
In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh ventured out over the Atlantic aboard his beloved Spirit of St. Louis, he tracked his progress using dead reckoning positioning techniques. As accurately as he could, Lindbergh measured his ground speed along each leg of his 33-hour journey. Then he multiplied by the elapsed time to estimate his new position.
