Blind Bombing:  Scientific Innovation in World War II by Author Norman Fine

Blind Bombing: Scientific Innovation in World War II by Author Norman Fine

Blind Bombing is an award-winning book of history and scientific innovation.  Microwave radar, made possible by a British invention on the very eve of the war, was introduced into the Allied bombing campaign in January 1944. The invention changed all the bombing protocols of the earlier years, and in so doing solved the final obstacle to D-Day, the thick European weather.  Learn more about this 5-month wonder of technical achievement from author and engineer Norman Fine.

World War II buffs and engineers alike will find this a compelling, but under-acknowledged story of innovation and tenacity.
