Chatto & Windus, London, 1953, 1st. Edition, 1953. 222 pp, -  B&W photographs, illustrations. "When, in 1940, Air Commodore Chisholm, then a Flying Officer in the Auxiliary Air Force Reserve, began operations with night fighters, the allied defences were still very ineffective; radar was an erratic novelty and the techniques of interception in the dark were undeveloped. The aircrew groped for enemy bombers in a virtual 'blind man's buff'. Yet the famous squadron in which Chisholm served, inspired by John Cunninghahm (who later was to command it), soon had a growing tally of success to its credit. Later in the war, after commanding an operational night fighter development unit, the author helped with the formation of a radio counter-measures group which was to increase the chances of survival of British bomber crews by impeding, deceiving and harassing the enemy defences. Radio counter-measures, which strictly encompassed only 'interference with and exploitation of the enemy's use of radio waves ', culminated in the staging of elaborate 'spoof' operations and a successful fighter offensive against the enemy night fighters.-  Dust jacket has thumb siza loss to top of spine - book still very good.        * Second World War * Word War II * *N.B.*  If you buy more than one book from me on the same day you only pay R 6 extra postage for each of the additional books - See what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.
