Answer
Blind flying, pioneered by Jimmy Doolittle in 1929, revolutionized aviation by enabling pilots to navigate and control aircraft solely through instruments, without visual references. This technique involved using a combination of instruments, including an artificial horizon, altimeter, and compass, to provide pilots with essential flight information in conditions of reduced or no visibility.
