Sommerfeld or Sommerfield?[edit]

http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1953/1953%20-%200510.html gives the name of the tracking as Sommerfield tracking, which looks to me like a semi-Anglicized version of Sommerfeld tracking.

I'm inclined to change the title of this article to match that reference, and set up a redirect page under the title Sommerfeld tracking.

Is that a problem? Michael F 1967 (talk) 19:49, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flight in contemporary reports calls it "Sommerfeld Track". GraemeLeggett (talk) 07:06, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So it does. Probably best to leave things as they are. Michael F 1967 (talk) 21:21, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
