...baka had a 16-ft. wingspread, an estimated range of 35 to 40 miles, a speed of from 400 to 600 m.p.h. (depending upon the angle of dive). It had twin rudders, but first reports from the Pacific said it seemed to be wild and difficult to steer...
...three controls to operate: the stick, the throttle and rudder pedals. Test pilots have found the P-59 more maneuverable in the air than a conventional plane. Taxiing on the ground is tricky. Because there is no propeller to blow wind against the tail and rudder control surfaces for steering, pilots steer with the wheel brakes...
...coming Big Three meeting, said Mowrer, President Roosevelt will have "another and perhaps final opportunity to steer United Nations' collaboration toward a policy acceptable to everybody and not merely to the Russians...

In framing its policy on Greece, Labor tried to steer a tactful middle course between upholding the Coalition Government and disavowing Churchill.

Landing is accomplished by means of radio. In a normal instrument landing, a pilot aligns his plane on a radio signal beam from the field and steers his plane along it. In the new system, the radio signals themselves steer the ship; the pilot need not touch the controls. One instrument, the "localizer," guides the plane toward the middle of the runway; another, the "glide path," controls its descent. The instruments can pick up a plane 15 to 35 miles away at 3,000 feet altitude and glide it in to a perfect three-point landing...
