'We in Britain are inclined to think that rader originated in Britain, stimulated by threat from the Luftwaffe that was to materialise so dramatically in 1940. It may therefore come as a surprise to find not only that the basic idea if detecting objects by reflected radio waves had been conceived before the First World War, but also that it had been experientially demonstrated as 1903 by a German engineer, Christian Hulsmeyer. David Pritchard gives much the fuller account of Hulsmeyer's work that is available in the English language, and he then goes on to tell how radar was taken up by the German Armed Services in the years leading up to, and during, the Second World War. What he has to tell.will be of interest to all who are concerned with the rada. Professor R.V Jones in forward to The Radar War.
