Hello Craig,
Thank you for your response to my request on airway beacons.
I am brand new here and have no idea how to reply to an individual or to
a group or anything. I hope this gets to you.
Several specific questions on airway beacons:
What was the color code? ... Airports are green-white, I presume airway
beacons were white-white.
How did they flash the morse code identifiers?
Were the identification signals in morse code?
How could pilots see these morse identifiers in contrast to the
gazillion-candle-power beacons?
What was the typical separation of airway beacons?
Was there a common tower height that they were mounted on?
How was maintenance performed?
What was the angle above the horizon that these beacons shone?
Unrelated: If the table of contents of the 1940s airways manual isn't
too long, could you read it back to me via an e-mail?
Thank you very much.
Charlie
