Bawdsey Radar Presents Under the Radar

Airborne Radar in the Blitz


Listen Later

This second podcast describes how a small development team at Bawdsey produced the world's first airborne radar. Fitted into night fighters, it helped to counter the Blitz in 1940/41. 

The ability of airborne radar to detect ships and U-boats also allowed it to play a pivotal role in winning the Battle of the Atlantic.
