Description: New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc., Date: 1978. Book. Good-. Hard. First American Edition (stated).. If one were to read this book without any knowledge of its origin, it would be easy to categorize it as an exceptional World War II spy novel - complete with secret reports, raids, heroes, villains and scientific experiments. The facts are, however, stranger than fiction. This book is not a work of fiction - it is the true stories of those brave souls working behind the scenes and endangering their lives to defeat a common foe - the war machine known as Germany. Touted as the man "who broke the bloody beam", R.V. Jones not only illustrates his contribution to the war effort on behalf of Britain it also includes the many others sacrificing all. The dj has some yellowing at the folds, microtears, edgewear and a small closed tear [1/4 inch on front]. The dj is not price clipped. It is 556 pages including b/w illustrations and photos. Images available upon request. Dj neatly encased in acid free Brodart book protector. Size: 8 Vo. 1978. Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc. ISBN 0698108965 9780698108967 [US]

Description: New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc, Date: 1978. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Good. Lynn Hollyn (Jacket Design). xx, 556 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Glossary. Index. DJ somewhat worn and soiled: small edge tears/chips. From 1939 to 1945, the author was Head of Scientific Intelligence on Britain's Air Staff and Scientific Advisor to M16. Reginald Victor Jones (29 September 1911 - 17 December 1997) was a British physicist and scientific military intelligence expert who played an important role in World War II. In September 1939, the British assigned a scientist to the Intelligence section of the Air Ministry. No scientist had previously worked for an intelligence service. Jones rose to become Assistant Director of Intelligence (Science) there. During the course of the Second World War he was closely involved with the scientific assessment of enemy technology, and the development of offensive and countermeasures technology. He solved a number of tough Scientific and Technical Intelligence problems during World War II and is generally known today as the "father of S&T Intelligence". Derived form a Kirkus review: Revelations about British scientific intelligence activities during World War II by the man who was the head of scientific intelligence on Britain's Air Staff and scientific adviser to MI6. He began by doing original research on the uses of infra-red as a kind of radar for detecting the movements of planes and enabling them to navigate at night. It was Churchill who called this battle of scientific secrets ""the wizard war."" The first big enemy secret weapon Jones tried to investigate was a radio-controlled torpedo--but no one in the Service Ministries took him seriously. Then it became apparent that Germany was sending out two radio beams by which the Luftwaffe's night bombers could safely, attack England, and so began the ""Battle of the Beams."" Jones located the sources of these radio beams and devised a counter-signal that jammed the German beams and deprived the bombers of their accuracy. His observations led to the famous Bruneval night raid and the first British exposure to the state of German radar technology. Soon the Germans were sending V-1 and V-2 rockets against London, and Jones was on their trail. 1978. Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc ISBN 0698108965 9780698108967 [US]

Description: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Date: 1978-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x6x1. [From the library of Benjamin B. King.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Tears to jacket. Pages unmarked. xx, 556 p., ill., 23 cm. <br> "Benjamin B. King was an intelligence officer for the British Royal Air Force during World War II. After World War 2 broke out in Europe in September 1939, he joined the British Royal Air Force as a 'penguin' who could not fly because of eyesight problems. He was assigned to Coastal Command at the airbase in Wick in the very north of Scotland, which provided defense for Britain in the North Sea, engaging the Germany Navy and Air Force. After his stint at Wick, Ben was transferred to the vital but vulnerable British base at Gibraltar off the coast of Spain, where the British monitored German and Italian military operations in the Western Mediterranean. While in Gibraltar, one of his tasks was to listen to Luftwaffe radio communications and track the movement of German and Italian airplanes. After Gibraltar, Ben was called back to Britain and assigned to the secret British code-breaking operations at Bletchley Park in England, which played a critical role in the Allies' war effort by monitoring and decoding German military communications and ultimately breaking the German Enigma code." - Obit. 1978.
