Description
The story of the USAAF's airborne signals intelligence aircraft during World War Two is one of rapid innovation and collaboration. In just three years, the USAAF transformed from hand-built prototypes to mass-produced aircraft, leveraging partnerships with universities and airlines to develop and deploy radar countermeasures. The 'ferret' aircraft played a crucial role in the war, evolving from supporting bombing missions to flying independent reconnaissance operations off the enemy coast. As the war progressed, the USAAF continued to adapt and improve the aircraft, with technical representatives from universities and airlines providing feedback to inform production and operational decisions. The aircraft's development is a testament to the ingenuity and expertise of the people involved, who worked together to solve complex problems under challenging conditions. This book provides a detailed account of the USAAF's airborne signals intelligence development and operations, with extensive illustrations, maps, and operational details.
