Beneath the Radar: An illustrated account of an ordinary radar operator’s life in RAF Radar Stations 1942-6

by Nina Baker

There are many accounts of the work of the 'boffins', scientists and engineers who invented and developed radar before during and after the Second World War. This is not that sort of book. This is an account of the experiences of a very young man in the Royal Air Force, immediately after the end of the War, as an ordinary radar operator in the UK and Middle East. Based on his letters home to his future wife and his beautiful sketches and paintings done at the time, this is an unusually intimate account, set in context by the author's research into those times and places.
