The Birth of British RadarThe Birth of British Radar
The Memoirs of Arnold 'Skip' Wilkins

Edited by Colin Latham and Anne Stobbs

Arnold "Skip" Wilkins is one of the unsung heroes of the British effort to develop radar. The Birth of British Radar book combines the memoirs of Skip with an authoritative overview of the historical importance of his work.

At the core of The Birth of British Radar are Skip's memoirs of his involvement in the British radar (or, as it was then known, radio direction finding, RDF) programme from its very inception in 1935. Working under the direction of Robert Watson-Watt, it was he who proposed using radio waves, bounced back from an enemy aircraft, to detect its position. Initially working entirely alone, he constructed prototype equipment which he used in the famous Daventry experiment conducted in a field near Weeden, Northants, on 26 February 1935. The success of this led to the establishment of the R&D group at Bawdsey Manor with its team of talented scientists, engineers and technicians. From there he describes the engineering and political developments which occurred to change faint traces into a fully working system which played such a crucial role in defending Britain in the Second World War.

This second edition of The Birth of British Radar has been greatly expanded from the original memoirs with a large array of additional material. Each chapter of the memoirs is set in a historical context with an explanatory note. There is a host of extra material including an interview with Skip, details of how radar grew, post war commemorations and much more. The Birth of British Radar contains mono and colour photos along with details of Skip's post war experiences. The story of this publicity-shy individual who never sought public recognition for his achievement, is fascinating. This book describes the struggles and triumphs from the earliest days of radar, in perhaps one of the most important periods in British electronics development, and is highly recommended.

Inside EnigmaInside Enigma
The Secrets of the Enigma Machine and other Historic Cipher Machines

By Prof. Tom Perera, W1TP

The breaking of the Enigma Codes in WWII was one of the defining actions of the whole war. Many books have been written about this as one of the best kept secrets of WW2. Few have looked right inside the Enigma cipher machine itself, but Inside Enigma does just that.

Inside Enigma brings to life how the Enigma machines were used, how the messages were encoded and why the Enigma code was virtually unbreakable. With more than 500 pictures this book explains exactly how these machines were constructed and worked.

Written by Enigma expert Professor Tom Perera, W1TP, Inside Enigma provides a history of these fascinating machines from their predecessors through to the cipher machines of the Cold War. The wartime Enigmas used by the German Army and Navy are covered in much depth, as is, the development of coding machines, into the post-war variants such as the Swiss NEMA, Russian Fialka and American M-209. Readers will even find a guide to finding and buying their own Enigma machine and, if that fails, instructions to build their own modern day version. Inside Enigma includes translations of original Enigma operating instructions and much more.

Inside Enigma is a comprehensive and copiously illustrated handbook covering the secrets of the Enigma Machine and the theory and practice of cipher machines in the 20th century.

Heroines of SOE: F Section: Britain's Secret Women in France Heroines of SOE: F Section: Britain's Secret Women in France
By Beryl Escott

25% OFF the rrp for RSGB Members

The history of SOE's war in the shadows has been told many times and much is known about the men who fought in secret. However, less is known about the women who also risked their lives for Britain and the liberation of France. By 1942 Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) was in desperate need of new recruits for their dangerous missions in France and they turned to a previously unexplored group - women. These female recruits came from all levels of society and were often motivated by an idealistic love of France and a desire to play a part in its liberation. Many displayed unexpected qualities and were good leaders, others showed astonishing courage through terrible privations, and many of them died bravely and painfully.

Without doubt their contributions to Britain's secret missions of intelligence-gathering and sabotage helped the resistance to drive out their occupiers and free France. Here, for the first time is the extraordinary account of all forty SOE 'F' women agents. It is a story that deserves to be read by everyone.

Most Secret: The Hidden History of Orford NessMost Secret: The Hidden History of Orford Ness
By Paddy Heazell

25% OFF the rrp for RSGB Members

Orford Ness was so secret a place that most people have never even heard of it. Yet this remote stretch of the Suffolk coast has seen the development of Radar, testing of atom bombs, Secret US projects and much more in its eighty year history.

This book details how Orford Ness developed from its WW1 origins testing and developing all manner of aerial weaponry through to highly secret radar projects of the cold war. In between, Watson Watt and his team worked in the 1930s developing the highly secret radar systems that were to prove so crucial in WW2. All manner of ordinance was tested at Orford Ness from hand held WW1 bombs to Barnes Wallis WW2 bouncing bombs, all manner of rockets and missiles and even Cold War Atom bombs (without fissile material). The top-secret UK-US COBRA MIST project was built at Orford Ness with its antenna that alone covered a massive 132 acres. Always at the forefront of military technology from 1913 to the 1990s, Orford Ness was involved in much else as well and readers will find it all detailed here.

This extraordinary book details the story of Orford Ness and the work conducted here by some of the greatest 'boffins' of past generations. The role Orford Ness played in inventing and testing was crucial over the course of the twentieth century and this book published in conjunction with the National Trust recounts the history of one of Britain's truly historic sites.

The Real Enigma HeroesThe Real Enigma Heroes
By Phil Shanahan

The capture of the Enigma codes helped shorten the Second World War by at least a year. Churchill took a special interest in the information that came out of Bletchley Park’s Station X and he guarded his contact well so that the Germans would never find out the source.Without the quick actions of three men from HMS Petard, who clambered aboard a sinking German U-boat, the codes might never have been broken. On the night of 30 October 1942, First Lieutenant Tony Fasson, accompanied by Able Seaman Colin Grazier and Tommy Brown, climbed aboard U-559. Passing codebooks up through the hatch, Fasson and Grazier were caught aboard the sub as she suddenly sank. Brown was saved, along with the code books, and the rest, they say, is history...It wasn’t until 1969 that the men were mentioned for their work in rescuing the Enigma codes, and even then it was in the comic "The Hornet".

Phil Shanahan tells the extraordinary story of the three men who saved countless Allied lives and shortened the war by a year, as well as the efforts to recognise their bravery.

It’s hard to think of three individual servicemen who did more to hasten the Allied victory - Robert Harris, author of "Enigma".

They played a pivotal part in bringing the Battle of the Atlantic to an earlier close - Prince Andrew.

A contribution to the winning of the war that few could match - Tony Blair.

Between Silk and Cyanide Between Silk and Cyanide
A Code Maker's War 1941-45

By Leo Marks

Leo Marks was until recently known as a poet and playwright, however now he is best known as one of the foremost cryptographers at Bletchley Park during WW2. This book is a detailed account of his time in SOE and is truly one of the great Second World War memoirs.

Between Silk and Cyanide tells how Marks revolutionised the code-making techniques of the Allies and trained some of the famous agents. The story is all here from his arrival in 1942 with a black market chicken tucked under his arm through his time at Bletchley Park. There is a huge amount of detail here including how he had had to come up with new cyphers for SOE when he was horrified to discover that the traffic could be read by the Germans with ease. His novel solution was to use original poems instead as cyphers. Marks also revolutionised the decoding of the 20% of "indecipherables", messages from SOE agents that were sent with the Gestapo on the prowl, that the agent need not risk his life to resend.

At 622 pages this book is a critically acclaimed and detailed autobiography. It is recommended to anyone seeking an account of Bletchley Park or simply a great read.

Captain Henry Jackson of HMS DefianceCaptain Henry Jackson of HMS Defiance
by John Hooper

For anyone interested in the history of radio communications this book is a must Captain Henry Jackson of HMS Defiance tells the story of a period of time when that ship and its Commanding Officer where both at the forefront of the early experimentation in the use of radio waves as a form of communication.

Captain Henry Jackson was a Victorian radio pioneer who persuaded the Admiralty to carry out trials using this new method of communication during fleet manoeuvres in 1899. At one point was probably more advanced in his radio work than the celebrated Guglielmo Marconi. However Jackson did not have the same connections or support as Marconi, so did not receive the recognition his work probably deserved. Jackson went on to have a distinguished naval career becoming First Sea Lord in 1915 and an Admiral of the Fleet in 1919. Jackson continued to be prominent in radio communications and was elected President of the RSGB in 1922.

Captain Henry Jackson of HMS Defiance covers much more than the radio story and also has details of the torpedo school and submarine activity in the area. If you have connections with radio communications at sea, particularly in the Royal Navy, you will find Captain Henry Jackson of HMS Defiance and extremely interesting read.
