Transcription Notes:
mandc: Entries on the "drift" line require some comment. Regarding the "6L" and "7L" entries, I'm not sure if an "L" letter (for "left") or a symbol, as navy men usually use "port" for left. Also the "L" in each case is overwritten an "R" so the "L" may indeed indicate "left." Drift is the result of crosswind causing the actual path of a plane to differ from the indicated compass course. https://www.britannica.com/technology/drift-navigation
