Summary, etc. Drawing on the memories of more than seventy RAF radar personnel, Radar: A Wartime Miracle tells the story of the RAF's 'dark secret' from the viewpoints of the people who were actually involved, including volunteers from New Zealand, the USA, Australia and especially Canada. These range from the backroom boffins who developed, adapted and perfected the radars to the radar mechanics and set operators on lonely inhospitable hilltops all over Britain; and from the nightfighter and bomber pilots who used radar as the tool of their respective trades to the men on the ground who folded up the radar aerials, packed them on the backs of lorries and took them overseas. The operation of each system is also explained by Colin Latham in comprehensive yet accessible terms, and so will appeal both to the layman and to those conversant with the technology. Colin Latham and Anne Stobbs both served in the RAF during the Second World Waras radar specialists, and as such are eminently qualified to recount the story of this truly miraculous wartime achievement. Supporting their fascinating story are some one hundred photographs and line illustrations.
