MIT RADIATION LABORATORY SERIES 1947 - 1951 PDF on DVD (28 VOLUMES) (#380403801890)

After the end of World War II, the United Statesgovernment continued to pay key people who had worked at the RadiationLaboratory for six months to enable them to write about their work.

From the forward of each book:

The tremendous research and development effort that wentinto the development of radar and related techniques during World War IIresulted not only in hundreds of radar sets for military (and some for possiblepeacetime) use but also in a great body of information and new techniques inthe electronics and high-frequency fields. Because this basic material may beof great value to science and engineering, it seemed most important to publishit as soon as security permitted.

However, an altruistic drive to publish the Lab\'sachievements in open literature was not the only impetus.

As C. C. Bissell observes: The imposing 27-volume [sic]Radiation Lab Series was not only a technological statement, but also apolitical statement about the role the United States was to play in thepost-war world that in the post-war world the United States would be theintellectual driving force of science and technology, as well as the economicand political super power.

The Radiation Laboratory, commonly called the Rad Lab, waslocated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge,Massachusetts (US) and functioned from October1940 until December 31, 1945. Alfred Lee Loomis, a millionaire and physicistwho headed his own private laboratory, selected the location for the laboratoryon the campus, named it the MIT Radiation Laboratory, and arranged funding forthe Rad Lab until federal money was allocated. It was formed by, and initiallyoperated under, the National Defense Researc Committee (NDRC), a commissionestablished by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt with Vannevar Bush as itschairman. In 1941, the NDRC was enlarged to become the Office of ScientificResearch and Development (OSRD), with Bush remaining as chairman. Lee A.DuBridge served as the Rad Lab director. This facility was responsible for developingmost of the microwave radars used by the United States during World WarII including the H2X radar used for bomb-aiming and thesubsequent improvements to the initial H2X radar\'s technology.

The Rad Lab also developed LORAN, the first worldwide radionavigation system, which originally was known as \"LRN\" for LoomisRadio Navigation, after Alfred Lee Loomis, who invented LORAN and played acrucial role in military research and development during WWII. It remained themost widely used long-range navigation system until the advent of GPS which wasdeveloped from it and became used by the public after 2000.
