The SCR-270 (a mobile
long-range aircraft detector, or early-warning set) — had begun before
the nation entered the war. A SCR-270 on Oahu detected the approach of
Japanese aircraft the morning of Dec. 7, 1941 — picking up the planes'
echoes when they were 130 miles away and giving the warning no one would
believe. |
