Angling back on to the steady hum of the beam before heading south to the airport, he should have heard the cheeping dot-dash of the "A" until he picked up the steady hum of the course in his earphones. Oldtimer that he was, he would never have run across the course into the "N" zone (dash-dot) that marked approach to the mountains and disaster. But if the beam failed just as he made...
