Description

The 36th Bomb Squadron: A Story of Radar Countermeasures in World War II The 36th Bomb Squadron, part of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, played a crucial role in the Allied war effort during World War II. Operating from England, this elite squadron flew modified B-24s on a mission to jam German radar, which controlled fighter and flak batteries. Their work was instrumental in the success of the D-Day landings, and they continued to operate in the "War in the Ether" throughout the war. The squadron's night and daylight missions are detailed in this book, which draws on secret records, personal diaries, and interviews with the squadron's members. The account reveals the squadron's bravery and ingenuity, as they flew on bad weather days and paid the ultimate price in blood. The book also explores the squadron's role in screening Eighth Air Force radio transmissions to prevent the enemy from learning important mission details. With over 330 rare photographs and illustrations, this book provides a unique and fascinating insight into the history of the 36th Bomb Squadron.
