Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Alone Against Germany, Britain Gave America Its Most Astonishing Secretsin August 1940, A German Invasion Of Britain Looked Inevitable. Luftwaffe Bombers Were Pounding British Cities, France Had Surrendered, And The Low Countries Were Under German Control. Although Sympathetic To Britains Plight, The United States Remained Staunchly Neutral. Unknown To The Rest Of The World, Britains Brightest Scientific And Military Minds Had Been Working On Futuristic Technology For A Decade, Including Radar And Jet Propulsion. While The Great Value Of Radar To Locate And Identify Objects At Long Distance And At Night Or In Bad Weather Was Appreciated, At The Time It Was Thought That Practical Radar Required A Roomsized Device For Generating An Effective Signal. Now, Suddenly, British Scientists Had Something Extraordinarythe Cavity Magnetron, A Generator Hundreds Of Times More Powerful Than Any Other In Use And Small Enough To Be Held In The Hand. With The British Economy And Industry Reeling From The War, Winston Churchill Gambled On An Unorthodox Plan: A Team Of Scientists And Engineers Would Travel Under Cover To The United States And Give The Stillneutral Americans The Best Of Britains Military Secrets. It Was Hoped That In Exchange The United States Would Provide Financial And Manufacturing Supportwhich Might Even Lead To Their Official Entry Into The War.The Tizard Mission, Named For Its Leader Sir Henry Tizard, Steamed Across The Atlantic Carrying A Suitcasesized Metal Deed Box. Designed To Sink In The Event The Ship Was Torpedoed By A Uboat, The Box Contained Details Of The Whittle Jet Engine, Research For An Atomic Bomb, And A Precious Cavity Magnetron. The Americans Proved To Be Astonished, Receptive, And Efficient: Bell Telephone Produced The First Thirty Magnetrons In October 1940, And Over A Million By The End Of The War. With This Device, Both Warships And Aircraft Could Carry Warwinning Radar. But Britain Did Not Only Give America Military Secrets, These Same Technologies Would Produce A Fortune For Postwar Commercial Industries, With The Magnetron Being The Key Component To The Microwave Oven. In The Tizard Mission: The Topsecret Operation That Changed The Course Of World War Ii, Stephen Phelps Reveals How The Tizard Mission Was The Turning Point In The Technological War, Giving Britain The Weapons It Desperately Needed And Laying The Groundwork For Both The Special Relationship And Much Of The United Statess Postwar Economic Boom, An Effect That Still Resonates Today.
