Wilde Sau navigation map.
Hi,
The Bf 109 and the Fw 190 were not very well equipped with radio aids to navigation - to put it mildly. And in a single seat fighter the pilot must perform the navigation himself. Accordingly a very elaborate system of visual aids to navigation were established, encompassing light beacons, searchlight patterns, Flak firing combinations of various tracer colors through the clouds and parachute flares. Based on recent information I have produced the maps below, which depicts the aids established in the area within 150 km of Bonn-Hangelar, the base of parts of JG 300. Please see:
