And so you have Miami, Fort Lauderdale is up there, I guess, North Beach ish.

And Miami is a little bit further south.

Now, there are a few interesting things about this that you need to know.

One of them is that Lieutenant Taylor was not a long term resident of Fort Lauderdale.

After he returned from the war, you know, he's he's coming back for basically a cushy training job.

And that's the way it worked in the American military.

And there was this, one of the things about World War II that's always really interesting is American aces tended to survive the war because once you got really good and took down some ships or took down some other fighter planes, they just bring you back to train because they knew you were much more valuable.

So you'd come back and train.

So like German aces,

Often died because they were going up all the time because it's all they had, not the way they did it with the Americans.

And so Taylor's had all this experience in the war.

He's brought back for this cushy job as an instructor and he sent to Miami.

So he spends a long period of time doing training flights in Miami.

And he's doing a similar navigational problem, but he's doing it down over the Keys.

And so he knew the Keys really well.

And he was very familiar with the Keys.

And in fact, this was one of the first flights he had done while at Fort Lauderdale.

He'd only been there a couple of weeks.

So he had not done many training flights and there's some discrepancy here.

Some people say this is his first one.
