ii) The Birth of British Radar: The Memoirs of Arnold
'Skip' Wilkins (Edited by Colin Latham and Anne Stobbs)
ISBN 0953716627
Arnold Wilkins was actively involved in the British radar
programme from its very inception in 1935. Working under
Watson-Watt, it was he who proposed using radio waves,
bounced back from an enemy aircraft, to detect its
position.
Initially working entirely alone, he constructed prototype
equipment which he used in the famous Daventry experiment
conducted in a field near Weeden, Northants, on 26
February 1935. The success of this led to the
establishment of the R&D group at Bawdsey Manor with its
team of talented scientists, engineers and technicians.
Wilkins then played a key role in the establishment of the
Chain Home Radar system for detection of enemy aircraft
crossing the English Channel. The book is Wilkins's
personal account of these historical events, written in
1977 a few years before his death and has never before
been published.
110 pp, with 23 photographs and diagrams. Price is £10
plus £1.50 by post (UK).
