RDF 1: THE LOCATION OF AIRCRAFT BY RADIO METHODS 1935-1945
Written by Michael Bragg.
Stock no. 1830048
Published by Hawkhead Publishing. 1st 2002. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

There is no doubt that the Battle of Britain was one of the turning points of the twentieth century. If the battle had been lost then an invasion, only the second in nearly a thousand years of English history, would have been attempted by Germany with every chance of success. Radar alone could not shoot down planes but enabled Fighter Command to conserve aircraft and rest pilots until the enemy were known to be approaching the coast. The building of the stations was an engineering project of the most formidable kind and has never received the recognition it deserves. This book tells the story... Navy cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. 400 pages including index. ISBN: 0953154408. Text block just slightly grubby and lightly browned. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed to rear panel.
