How did air and naval navigation differ after naval aviation emerged?
Short answerAt a basic level both used celestial fixes and the sun; accurate time remained essential for relating observations to position.
NotesSurface and air navigation share a common foundation. Navigators can use stars at night and observations of the sun by day to establish a position. Accurate time matters because it lets the observer relate the sun's apparent position to longitude. The later differences between navigation from a ship and from a faster-moving aircraft remain outside this brief reply.
