From The RADAR Pages
Gough, Jack, Watching The Skies - The History of Ground Radar in the Air Defence of the United Kingdom, HMSO, London, 1993, ISBN 0 11 772723 7, 0117 727 237 8216.

This book describes the birth and development of air defence radar in the UK. Jack Gough gives us a fascinating behind the scenes look at the military and political considerations involved in the air defence of Great Britain as well as describing the systems and equipment in detail. If you served on post war R.A.F. air defence radar and wondered why on earth we did things the way we did then this book should answer many of your questions. The wartime, post war and cold war periods are covered in detail, as are the rationales behind the Rotor and Linesman/Mediator systems. This book is a prime source and something of a philosopher's stone for anyone researching British air defence radar as its author served his country for 34 years at the very heart of British radar development.
