[ARC5] Aircraft B-18A Bolo

[Lenox Carruth]

Early British aircraft used the 176 Mc ASV Mk II radar until the Germans
developed the Metox receiver which detected the signal from the airborne
radar thus allowing the sub to dive and escape detection. The radar was
changed to the centimetric ASV Mk III followed by the ASV Mk IIIA.

Very late war aircraft used the 9cm ASV Mark VI C.

Incidentally, the WW-II submarine Cobia in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, has what is
believed to be the world's oldest operating (and licensed) radar.  It is a
centimetric SJ.
