Minor clarification, Loran-A was used from WW-2 until it was turned off in the 1980's I believe. The current system, Loran-C was in commercial use starting in the late 70's. When Loran-C was used for returning to a previously stored waypoint, it's accuracy was almost as good as current GPS and better than the early "dithered" commercial GPS service.
Loran is all we had WWII and on,.... with radio silence and an overcast to prevent celestial nav it was pretty hard to find the carrier without it!!!
