I've been teaching test pilots and test engineers for 20 years and I haven't found any book that could possibly replace Stimson's as a foundation for understanding radar technology.
- Bob McShea, Director of Systems, National Test Pilot School
The stated goal of the book is 'to fulfill the needs of all who wish to learn about radar, regardless of their backgrounds.' That is hugely ambitious, particularly given the wide spectrum of the subject and of the readers, but I cannot think of another book that comes as close as this one.
Prof. Hugh Griffiths - THALES/Royal Academy of Engineering Chair of RF Sensors, University College London
Few books receive the title of 'bible'; of their discipline, and Stimson's book on radar is just that. Whether new to radar or EW, or an old sage needing a quick review, Stimson is the must have volume for your library.
- Dr. Patrick J. Ford Dean, School of Science & Technology - American Military University
This is one of those rare books that stands of truly great value to all possible readers: novice to expert. While the illustrations, with their singular clarity, are easily understood by the radar beginner, there is enough depth on specific topics to satisfy the needs of radar experts.

"Having a background in both combat aviation and physics, I can say without a doubt that there is no other text that allows students with such diverse backgrounds to understand the principles behind the tactical use of radar as quickly and thoroughly as does
Introduction to Airborne Radar. The book's conceptual approach is it's unique quality."
- Ed Tomme, Military Pilot Training Instructor
"Mr. Stimson has retained his high technical standards, clear expository style, and superb artwork while bringing the text into the 21st century. This second edition is a "must have" book for both engineer and technician alike."
- Richard Strecker, Radar Instructor, Raytheon TI Electronic Systems
"[This is] a 'powerful' book. It addresses many different aspects of radar, and it seems as complete as a book can be on airborne radar. If I hadn't seen the first edition, I wouldn't have believed that anyone could produce such a book."
- Dr. Merrill Skolnik, Author,
The Radar Handbook (McGraw-Hill), Naval Research Lab
"The author has a very readable style. He is able to describe technically complex subjects in a clear and understandable way. This technique is aided immensely by the outstanding graphics...There is no book like this on the market.
- Russell Lefevere, Vice President, Technology Service Corp. --Publisher
