Article about: I believe this is a wwii navigational tool. I am thinking it would have been used by pilots for directional purposes.

    I like this type of navigational equipment. There are several different versions.

    This style goes on the pilots leg (upper thigh) and has leg straps to conceal it. The upper flap contains a rotary calculator.

    Just did and they came thru this time. Your type of calculator is nicknamed by collectors as the "frying pan" style for obvious reasons.

    Those r really neat pictures—i’ve never seen one of that type before. Thank you for sharing. Curious if you found anything out about the Hicho commander on yours?
