Re: Night Fighter books


I recommend 'Instruments Of Darkness' by Dr. Alfred Price, which is the history of electronic warfare 1939-45. A 'dry' subject, but it is so well written and in places even amusing. How Britain deceived the Germans, and led them up the garden path, is hilarious at times. A great book, IMO ...
