I just sent funds via PayPal.

There's an interesting book called "The Invention that Changed the 
World.  How a small group of radar pioneers won the second world war 
and launched a technical revolution" by Robert Buderi that covers 
this time frame, plus later when the magnetron was commonly used.  It 
mostly covers the Rad Lab, but includes Great Britain and to a much 
lesser degree, Germany and Japan.  I checked it out from my local library.
