From Fig 1, it should be obvious that while on the ground at
home, they continuously compared the clocks against USNO time
(as well as against each other). While in the air and during
short layovers in different cities of the world, they could
not compare against USNO, but they did continue the regular
inter-comparisons of the clocks against each other.

Most of what you have written about how you believe H&K
collected their data is sheer fantasy.

Page 170: "We recorded the differences in the times indicated by each
member of the flying ensemble at regular intervals before, during, and
after each trip, that is, thoughout the entire data period. An
analysis of these data revealed the times and magnitudes for
correlated changes during each trip."
Please reread the first paragraph on page 170 which starts, "A
hypothetical example may help to follow the logic of this method."
If you didn't follow my earlier description of correlated rate-change
analysis, perhaps their detailed description will help. "Therefore,
time intercomparison data for an ensemble of three or more clocks
permit reconstruction of their rate change behavior relative to
MEAN(USNO) without actual comparisons with MEAN(USNO), and the greater
the number of clocks in the ensemble, the more redundant and self-
consistent the procedure becomes."
