These are unquestionably the two most dissimilar manifestations of the behaviors that distinguish man from beast. Science—allow it here to mean all elements of our search to understand the universe and put that understanding to use—is the most remarkable of human occupations. It is also the most important. For us not to strive to understand the universe would be as foolish as for castaways not to explore the island on which they find themselves. Science, like art and literature, draws from the mind those inner, intangible feelings which we flatter ourselves give us our station on Earth. It discloses to us things of unparalleled beauty and wonder—the mathematical beauty of the laws of physics, the wonder that life is understandable. War is the negation of all this. It is a disease, like smallpox, that must be eradicated. Yet war is almost as unique to man as is science. Other than ourselves, only ants organize their violence so that it can be called war. Violence is ubiquitous to the biological world, but it is man’s doing to make it an inner- most part of civilization. War is the great embarrassment of civilization, yet all great civilizations have maintained themselves by their military skills and have vanished when those skills no longer sufficed to protect them or sustain internal order. Moreover, from the dawn of civilization science and war have been inseparable companions, locked in a partnership that neither desires and that neither is capable of dissolving. No one setting out to read this book needs the recitation of a catalog of invention and discovery that bears on military history to be convinced of science’s significance, but if this relationship is so well known, what is the purpose of this book? It has a void to fill, for an important element in this story is not well told. Years ago I was struck by the absence of a comprehensive and international history of radar, of the kind that has appeared many times about the atomic bomb. Not that there were no books on the subject; on the contrary, there is almost an over-abundance, as the numerous references cited herein attest. There are among them some extremely good accounts of various parts of the story, and it is my hope that this study will impel many to read them for the things I have had to ix Technical and Military Imperatives leave out. However, these histories are all parochial, for they invariably found their origins in the personal involvement of the authors in radar or on material gleaned from national or laboratory sources. The secret nature of radar did not give the engineers, scientists and military much chance to learn what took place on the other side of the hill, so national versions tell one little about other countries and all too frequently leave the reader with a distorted impression of the whole subject. This does not imply dispute about the facts. The German and British accounts each emphasize the development of their own equipment, of course, but describe the great radar struggle between the Luftwaffe and RAF Bomber Command without significant disagreement. They leave the curious impression, however, that World War II was a private fight between Britain and Germany. There were in America four large radar development laboratories of comparable importance. The histories written about them are quite un- equal and show poor understanding of the contributions of others. Three years into the project I was still encountering major surprises that changed my understanding in a substantive way. Most radar histories trace its ori- gins to a few relatively well known and oft reported events. It has not taken any great depth of scholarship to recognize that radar was just in the air during the 1920s and 1930s. This is obvious when one learns that eight nations had radar projects in 1939. There is evidence that leads one to suspect that hundreds of communication engineers observed reflection and interference phenomena causing them to think about radio location without recording it. The strong similarities of the German and American programs alone speak volumes for its invention being a technical impera- tive. ‘The bomb may have ended the war but radar won it.’ This was the comment of many radar workers in August 1945, when the news of the atomic bomb upstaged the release of public knowledge of the MIT Radiation Laboratory, planned as a cover story for Time. This statement has been repeated many times since then, often with categorical statements concerning some engagements, but has never been examined for the war as a whole.

  • THE RADAR WAR Forward
    THE RADAR WAR by Gerhard Hepcke Translated into English by Hannah Liebmann Forward The backbone of any military operation is the Army. However for an international war, a Navy is essential for the security of the sea and for the resupply of land operations. Both services can only be successful if the Air Force has control over the skies in the areas in which they operate. In the WWI the Air Force had a minor role. Telecommunications was developed during this time and in a few cases it played a decisive role. In WWII radar was able to find and locate the enemy and navigation systems existed that allowed aircraft to operate over friendly and enemy territory without visual aids over long range. This development took place at a breath taking speed from the Ultra High Frequency, UHF to the centimeter wave length. The decisive advantage and superiority for the Air Force or the Navy depended on who had the better radar and UHF technology. 0.0 Aviation Radio and Radar Technology Before World War II From the very beginning radar technology was of great importance for aviation. In spite of this fact, the radar equipment of airplanes before World War II was rather modest compared with the progress achieved during the war. 1.0 Long-Wave to Short-Wave Radiotelegraphy In the beginning, when communication took place only via telegraphy, long- and short-wave transmitting and receiving radios were used. 2.0 VHF Radiotelephony Later VHF radios were added, which made communication without trained radio operators possible. 3.0 On-Board Direction Finding A loop antenna served as a navigational aid for airplanes.

  • Ops Block Battle of Britain: Ops Block
    Large print guide BATTLE OF BRITAIN Ops Block Battle of Britain: Ops Block This Operations Block (Ops Block) was the most important building on the airfield during the Battle of Britain in 1940. From here, Duxford’s fighter squadrons were directed into battle against the Luftwaffe. Inside, you will meet the people who worked in these rooms and helped to win the battle. Begin your visit in the cinema. Step into the cinema to watch a short film about the Battle of Britain. Duration: approximately 4 minutes DUXFORD ROOM Duxford’s Role The Battle of Britain was the first time that the Second World War was experienced by the British population. During the battle, Duxford supported the defence of London. Several squadrons flew out of this airfield. They were part of Fighter Command, which was responsible for defending Britain from the air. To coordinate defence, the Royal Air Force (RAF) divided Britain into geographical ‘groups’, subdivided into ‘sectors.’ Each sector had an airfield known as a ‘sector station’ with an Operations Room (Ops Room) that controlled its aircraft. Information about the location and number of enemy aircraft was communicated directly to each Ops Room. This innovative system became known as the Dowding System, named after its creator, Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, the head of Fighter Command. The Dowding System’s success was vital to winning the Battle of Britain. Fighter Command Group Layout August 1940 Duxford was located within ‘G’ sector, which was part of 12 Group. This group was primarily responsible for defending the industrial Midlands and the north of England, but also assisted with the defence of the southeast as required.

    This paper comprises a brief history of the origins and early development of radar meteorology. Therefore, it will cover the time period from a few years before World War II through about the 1970s. The earliest developments of radar meteorology occurred in England, the United States, and Canada. Among these three nations, however, most of the first discoveries and developments were made in England. With the exception of a few minor details, it is there where the story begins. Even as early as 1900, Nicola Tesla wrote of the potential for using waves of a frequency from the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum to detect distant objects. Then, on 11 December 1924, E. V. Appleton and M.A.F. Barnett, two Englishmen, used a radio technique to determine the height of the ionosphere using continuous wave (CW) radio energy. This was the first recorded measurement of the height of the ionosphere using such a method, and it got Appleton a Nobel Prize. However, it was Merle A. Tuve and Gregory Breit (the former of Johns Hopkins University, the latter of the Carnegie Institution), both Americans, who six months later – in July 1925 – did the same thing using pulsed radio energy. This was a simpler and more direct way of doing it. As the 1930s rolled on, the British sensed that the next world war was coming. They also knew they would be forced to defend themselves against the German onslaught. Knowing they would be outmanned and outgunned, they began to search for solutions of a technological variety. This is where Robert Alexander Watson Watt – a Scottish physicist and then superintendent of the Radio Department at the National Physical Laboratory in England – came into the story.

  • Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies
    Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies (BRS) Campaign The German “Blitzkrieg”, a new way of waging “lightning war” had raged through first Poland, then in the early summer of 1940 struck at Holland, Belgium and France. The Luftwaffe (German air force) crushed all opponents in the air, and then fast moving armour with ever present air support sliced through ground forces leaving their opponents scrabbling to hold defensive positions that were already untenable. The British Expeditionary Force fell back to Dunkirk and was evacuated against the odds. During this period the RAF (Royal Air Force) had desperately tried to defend the Dunkirk beaches and the constant stream of ships large and small ferrying the remains of the BEF back home. When the last ships left over 338000 men had been evacuated, British and French, but they were exhausted and had abandoned all their weapons and heavy equipment on French roads and beaches. As Churchill said “What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Britain is about to begin” The Battle of Britain was fought in the skies above England in the summer of 1940. The Luftwaffe were seeking to destroy the RAF to clear the way for a cross Chanel assault by the German Army. If they could succeed, Britain would be threatened with defeat and the war would be over. If the RAF could survive, then there may be time to prepare the defences, and possibly take the fight back to the enemy in due course. This campaign is designed to allow players to recreate some of the desperate battles fought in the summer of 1940 using the Blood Red Skies (BRS) rules from Warlord Games.
