Identification: Friend or Foe by James MacLeod Pdf
Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Dewar MacLeod joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He was attached to the Second Tactical Air Force, flying Mosquito aircraft in support of Allied ground forces in Europe when he was killed in action on September 29, 1944. His aircraft was shot down near a Belgian village, where he was temporarily buried. Sixty-two years later, in July of 2006, Dewars family learned his death may have been caused by friendly fire. In Identification: Friend or Foe, author James MacLeod, Dewars brother, who also served with the RCAF, chronicles the journey to discover the truth about Dewars death. Through a compilation of letters and emails, MacLeod follows the path of the investigation and the ensuing conclusions. With photos included, Identification: Friend or Foe, captures a piece of history of WWII and provides closure to events that occurred more than sixty-eight years ago.
Who Goes There - Friend Or Foe? by Ina V. S. Mullis Pdf
Discusses "friendly fire" casualties in combat. Attention on this problem was focused by the recent Persian Gulf War, in which 24 percent of U.S. combat fatalities were due to "friendly fire". U.S. combat losses as a whole from this cause are estimated to be 10% of the total. Makes recommendations on how this can be avoided in future combat situations. Graphs, drawings, b/w photos.
"Identification friend or foe began as a political expedient during the First World War but, despite the lessons learned, its vital significance wasn't fully realised until late 1941 when pressure was applied to save allied lives from 'friendly fire'. This book, designed and written by author/film director Tim Hamilton, traces for the very first time the complex history of aircraft recognition. Extracting from official documents, complete with all their political meanderings, and from 'restricted' service publications, it exposes both the successes and the tragic mistakes which have coloured the development of aircraft recognition from 1914 until the wind-down in 1946"--P. [4] of cover.

Have you ever wondered how stealth planes achieve "invisibility," how sunken ships are found, or how fishermen track schools of fish in vast expanses of ocean? Radar and sonar echolocation—a simple matter of sending, receiving, and processing signals. Weaving history with simple science, Mark Denny deftly reveals the world of radar and sonar to the curious reader, technology buff, and expert alike. He begins with an early history of the Chain Home radar system used during World War II and then provides accessible and engaging explanations of the physics that make signal processing possible. Basic diagrams and formulas show how electromagnetic and sound waves are transmitted, received, and converted into images, allowing you to literally see in the dark. A section on bioacoustic echolocation, with a focus on the superior sonar systems of bats and whales and a discussion of the advanced technology of next-generation airborne signal processors, opens the imagination to fascinating possibilities for the future.
