Here is a link to an article written about him just a few weeks before that expounds on some of the information. You are correct about 1943, I believe he first went with Alvarez in 1940, the 1943 invention I think was implemented later in the war, and a good observation by you, would have been after the Battle of Britian.

Thanks for sharing. My dad was on the Maryland off Okinawa when it took a Kamikaze hit to the top of the #3 turret. (He was manning a gun position at the base of said turret)

He doubtless would have been in the invasion force for the Japanese mainland without your uncle’s fine work.

Odds are without your uncle and so many other of his fine colleagues, I would not be here.

Dad passed in October.
