4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting review of the fielding of ship mounted HFDF.,
By dlarrabe@mailexcite.com (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Weapon: U.S. High-Frequency Direction Finding in the Battle of the Atlantic (Hardcover)
Reviews the source of technology and fielding of marine mobile HFDF used in ASW during WWII, parimarly in the Atlantic. Does not cover land based systems in the same depth which was dissappointing to this reader. Hints at the technology but does not specify the actual techniques employed. Does, however does provide an analysis of the impact of ship born HFDF towards countering German U Boat activity. Overall interesting reading !

Excellent study of military technology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret Weapon: U.S. High-Frequency Direction Finding in the Battle of the Atlantic (Hardcover)
Although the story of the role of technology in the defeat of german U-boats in the Battle of the Atalantic has often been told, the role of HF-DF (huff-duff) has usually been slighted. This book corrects that situation. Secret Weapon is an important new contribution in out understanding of the battle of the Atlantic, and an archetype of contemporary history of military technology. (From a longer review that appeared in the New York Military Affairs Symposium Newsletter).
