[Milsurplus] Robert Watson-Watt

[k2cby at optonline.net]

There are three books that should be on the shelf of anyone interested in
the early years of British radar, blind-bombing, and counter-measures.

R. V. Jones "The Wizard War", already mentioned, is top notch, although it
relates more to radio navigation and bombing (both British and German) than
radar.

Robert Watson-Watt's own book is titled "The Pulse of Radar." It deals
exclusively with radar and is comprehensive, although Watson-Watt is not as
entertaining a writer as Jones.

The third is "Instruments of Darkness" by Alfred Price. It covers both radar
and radio-nav and continues the tale from the earliest developments to the
Vietnam era.

Good reading all!
