Radar (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1945)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. RADAR / War's end permits release of one of the top drawer secrets of modern times: Radar is demonstrated to be a means of detecting invisible objects by means of electronic-echo waves being repelled by an alien object.—Coastal and base defenses were able to detect the approach of aircraft and to differentiate enemy from friendly planes. Bombers and scout planes could trace earth patterns electrically by means of radar, and carry out their missions accordingly. At mission's end they could land in 'ceiling zero weather' by radar co-operation from control towers. Warships on convoy duty, distinguished enemy craft from Allied, thru the medium of radar.—All in all, radar became a sixth sense for our armed forces, enabling them to reach over horizons, through any atmospheric condition, and uncover the enemy in his concealed position. The technique of its operation is explained thoroughly in our chart and pictorial presentation. 2.
