Lindbergh (1927) says he replaced the weight of the navigator with something called an inductor compass. This was based on the relation between the earth’s magnetic field and the magnetic field generated in the airplane.

By 1929 a few principal airports had passenger terminals with comfortable lobbies, but most of the existing airports were nothing more than open fields. The increased capabilities of 1920's planes also created the opportunity for
First, Dillard recollects the moment she became entranced with David Rahm’s performance at the air show. It was at the moment when Rahm took the 1930’s Black Bucker Jungman on a drop, sending the plane spinning back and forth through the air that she had become enticed.
