Overview

Volume One covers pre-WWII concepts, including early radio spoofing, signal direction-finding, and rudimentary communication disruption.  It details the establishment of specialised research groups, notably the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) at Harvard University and Division 15 of the National Defence Research Committee (NDRC). 

It further explores the front-line implementation of "Chaff" (Window) and electronic jammers. It highlights their tactical use during major World War II operations, including the D-Day Normandy invasion and strategic bombing runs over Europe and the Pacific. 

It explores the cost effectiveness of electronic developments & highlights how early investment in electronic deception saved thousands of allied aircrews and aircraft, delivering a massive return on investment.

Volume two bridges the gap between World War II and the escalation of the Vietnam War. It focuses heavily on the "Renaissance Years" of electronic warfare  detailing how the United States military restructured its early "Radio Counter measures" infrastructure following the end of global conflict.


The implementation and evolution of tactical jamming, electronic reconnaissance, and radar countermeasures during the conflict of the Korean War.  It  also explores the Cold War Buildup: The rapid technological advancements in electronic support, protection, and attack capabilities as tensions rose with the Soviet Union coupled with early airborne spying and signal intelligence gathering missions over and around contested borders.
