Reviews

This is a detailed, professional-level book with ample technical coverage of the various sets, production figures for each model, proper citation of sources, and name and subject indexes. It does an excellent job of reconstructing the company's history despite the passage of time and the wartime loss of records. The photographs of the various radar sets are plentiful and of unusually good quality. Tube Collector This will be an essential text for specialists, and an informative read for those with a general interest in the field Dr John Beavis, Transmission Lines If you want to have a well rounded, complete perspective on the birth and development of radar, GEMA: Birthplace of German Radar and Sonar is essential. QST .. a very welcome addition to the literature. Centaurus - 2001 .. the work really is worth reading. IEEE AES Systems Magazine Offers rare technical descriptions as well as information about industrial and scientific cooperation involving secret equipment in Germany before 1945 Book News All in all, the volume is well written, perhaps partly due to Brown's involvement.
