[Milsurplus] Robert Watson-Watt

[Joseph Orgnero]

You may add “ Most Secret War”, which he wrote in 1978. It is a 700 page detailed story of “British scientific Intelligence 193-1945.
It details many electronic related projects in which he was involved.
Very informative.

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!
