Provenance
a flying aircraft’s course is subject to wind speed and direction. The aircraft will drift downwind and a correction to the course will have to be made. To determine how far the aircraft heading was different from the desired course, the drift meter and drift recorder was used to calculate the amount of drift and the course could then be corrected.
