In the Second World War, German command was confident that weather would defeat Allied air power. They mocked the air warnings, believing clouds were their greatest shield. But they were wrong. This is the story of a secret Allied invention that changed the course of the air war: H2S terrain-mapping radar.
Discover how early bombing campaigns over Europe were failing, with bombers unable to find their targets through the dense cloud cover. This film explores the creation of the revolutionary cavity magnetron and the H2S system that gave bombers 'eyes' , allowing them to see cities like Hamburg through the darkest night.
Follow the evolution of this technology from the European theater to the Pacific, where the American H2X radar was installed in the B-29 Superfortress. Learn how this "invisible map" allowed General Curtis LeMay to bypass the powerful Jet Stream and conduct the devastating Operation Meetinghouse raid on Tokyo. This is the hidden history of the radar that gave the Allies a decisive new power in the skies.
