[ARC5] SigCorp WW2 Books, WAS (AN/CRD-5)

[GDM]

Since the inquiry about the books was posted earlier today,  a few more 
more have popped up on ABE Book site.  Coincidence or reaction?

Some one mentioned earlier today that the third book is some what "radar 
centric."   However, that doesn'tsurprise me.  The SigCorp had CW and 
AM  prior to WW2.  Yes, they developed better equipment but the two 
basic modes remained the same. Radar, on the other hand, was a new 
gee-whizz, superhigh freq thing. Imagine:  You could see aircraft at a 
distance in any weather (except for certain frequencies and certain 
weather!), night or day. We take radar for granted today, but in early 
WW2,  radar bordered on magic.

There's another book called "A Race on the Edge of Time." Its about the 
development of radar during WW2. Reads like a novel and shows how radar 
saved the Allies bacon.

I would expect the SigCorp to show case radar. It was a major, major 
accomplishment. (Not to forget the Brits developing the magnetron.)
