Letter: Letters : Radar's role

Published 12 July 1997

From Charles Foster

George Schindler credits the M9 gun director with shooting down 89 of 91 V-1s
launched in August 1944 by the Germans
(Letters, 31 May, p 53). Surely
radar—particularly “gun laying” radar like the SCR-584—deserves some
of the credit.

Perhaps more?
