[edit] Lorenz

Sorry, it seems, that the description of the so called "Lorenz Ultrakurzwellen-Landefunkfeuer" is not quite right. There are no highly directional antennas as described. For a brief and right description look at [[1]] page 6 and following pages. I think this document can help you to describe the early history of Radio navigation.

[edit] 2- Dimentional?

Is 'dimentional' an accurate spelling for the title of the picture; "Accuracy of navigation systems (2-Dimentional)"? (The 1st picture at the top of the article) I thought it was 'dimensional'? (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/2-dimensional) Thanks, Oliver.

[edit] Four Course Radio Range

I am considering adding a section on Radio Range which does not appear to be fully described here. Should it go under history? Any views? First 2 paragrpahs are as below.

Four Course Radio Range was also known as "A-N range" and "Low Frequency Range (LFR)" or simply as "Radio Range". In this usage "range" refers to a defined area or track (as in "shooting range"). The system provided indication of course but not of distance.

Radio Range was a means of radio navigation which provided guidance along four courses or legs which radiated outwards from each transmitting station. During the 1930s and 1940s Radio Range was the primary means of navigation for aircraft operating in the United States. The system was also used in other countries.
