But things werent 80 bad until a neighborhood cat discovered the birds meeting place. This cat developed the habit of sneaking into the hangar at night, then climbing atop the planes and up onto ‘the girders in search of bird meat.

Aviation

ALTHOUGH the principle of radar was discovered about 25 years ago, it was christened in this war: . RA (dio) D (etection) A (nd) R (anging)— RADAR. 2 This is as complete a description as can be permitted at present: The principle is radio waves sent 3 out by a transmitter at regular time intervals. When these radio waves strike anything solid they are reflected—like an echo—back along a path not far from their original outgoing course to a receiver close to the trdhismitter. The direction” from which these radio waves return is the direction of the object from which they are echoed. The distance of this object is measured (aufomatically, of course) in the length

of time it takes the waves to

travel from the transmitter to the object and return to the receiver. It was radar equipment, mounted ‘in aircraft, Which enabled night defense fighters to locate an

enemy ship in clouds or in pitch-black night, track-

it, and shoot it down, It was radar in patrol aircraft and on surface vessels which permitted the location of a submerged submarine. With general location once established, it was only a matter of tracking and checking to dot its exact location, and bomb or depth charge it to destruction.

Useful In Aviation

- complete story later. We are permitted, however, to estimate what radar will mean to the peacetime operation of aircraft—especially airliners. In the first place, airport traffic control equipped with radar will

be able to detect the presence and location of all|®

approaching. aircraft, irrespective of clouds, night, or| storm, up to a distance of about 25 miles. © This means the end of straight radio voice communication by a pilot informing the traffic control of | his plane’s estimated position. The possibility of error in such estimating has necessitated the maintenance of comfortable distances between aircraft circling an airport for landing in bad weather. With radar traffic control we'll actually “see” the airplanes, and thus actually know their locations. In addition, the airliner equipped with a radar grid will enable the pilot to see the ground in his landing approach, no matter how dark the night or dense the fog. Likewise, planes will be fitted with radar warning devices which will indicate the exact position and distance of other aircraft aloft.

Can ‘See’ Altitude

AVIATORS are the only people who ‘don’t go where they are looking, or look where they are going. Ina landing, the last glimpse of the surface upon which his wheels are to touch is lost when the plane levels off. The ground directly ahead is obscured by the motor, compelling a pilot to look to either side. Blind flying instruments enable airmen to maintain course, altitude and speed without glimpse of the horfzon. The flying is really blind except for the

guidance of his flight instruments. - And now with
