Watching the skies
Jack Gough
HMSO
A useful reference on
Radar in a readable format, with some technical information. Appendicies
include radar calculations, a list of Army radar from 1939 to 1955,
and a list and brief description of AMES equipment.
This is not currently
in my library.

Echoes
of War: The story of H2S radar
Sir Bernard
Lovell
This is both a really
good read and a really good reference on radar, its development
and in particular H2S, and on the author's WWII activities. It is
written from the author's perspective and ties in with other books
on WWII radar. Lots of useful references.

Boffin:
A personal story of the Early Days of Radar, Radio Astronomy and
Quantum Optics.
R Hanbury Brown
Just like Echoes of War,
this is another good read, as well as a good reference, setting
out, again from the author's perspective the early days of radar,
travelling through WWII and on into the author's work in astronomy.
A fascinating tale. Roughly 50/50 WWII radar/post-WWII astronomy.
