The Battle of the Beams: The secret science of radar that turned the tide of WW2

Tom Whipple

At the start of WW2 the Allies were still using celestial navigation to find their way across the skies. They had no means of detecting enemy planes.

Unbeknownst to them, the Germans were swiftly developing the technology that would mean they could do just this. If they succeeded in deploying this against the Allies, the outcome of the war could have been very different.

But there was one man helping the British government with their own scientific developments, a man who, when he had been offered the job of advising the air ministry on science had said, A man in that position could lose the war - I’ll take it! .

This book promises to tell the story of Reginald Jones, the man who developed radar tracking with the British government and continued to develop technologies against the Nazis as both sides tried to out-fox the other.
