Churchill's Shadow Raiders: The Race to Develop Radar, World War II's Invisible Secret Weapon

Damien Lewis

4.9/5 (22099 ratings)

Description:In the winter of 1941, as Britain faced defeat on all fronts, an RAF reconnaissance pilot photographed an alien-looking object on the French coast near Le Havre. The mysterious device-a �Wurzburg Dish�-appeared to be a new form of radar technology: ultra-compact, highly precise, and pointed directly across the English Channel. Britain's experts found it hard to believe the Germans had mastered such groundbreaking technology. But one young technician convinced Winston Churchill that the dish posed a unique and deadly threat to Allied forces, one that required desperate measures-and drastic action . . . So was launched Operation Biting, a mission like no other. An extraordinary �snatch-and-grab� raid on Germany's secret radar installation, it offered Churchill's elite airborne force, the Special Air Service, a rare opportunity to redeem themselves after a previous failed mission-and to shift the tides of war forever. Led by the legendary Major John Frost, these brave paratroopers would risk all in a daring airborne assault. With the help of a volunteer radar technician who knew how to dismantle the dish, as well as the courageous men and women of the French Resistance, they succeeded against all odds in their act of brazen robbery. Some would die. Others would be captured. All fought with resolute bravery . . .We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
