RADAR - Japanese use and its effectiveness, during WWII

Post by EAF331_Starfire »

My research into use of RADAR during WWII came from wanting to making an historic "operation crossbow" campaign.
Lately I flew in the Italien Community Marianas campaign which had RADAR on both sides.
Information on Japanese radar have been hard to find.

Last week I found the following quotes

BOOKS
(I don't own any of them,...yet)

Nakagawa, Yasuzo. Japanese Radar and Related Weapons of World War II. Aegean Park Press, 1997.
A very good overview.

Brown, Louis. A Radar History of World War II. Institute of Physics Publishing, 1999.
This is a great book, obviously with a larger scope.

Burns, Russell (ed.) Radar Development to 1945. Peter Peregrinus Ltd., 1988.
A series of articles covering each major combatant.
