Über den Autor / die Autorin
George W. Stimson was the author of
Introduction to Airborne Radar (1st and 2nd editions) and served as an engineer on Southern California Edison's frequency-change project before being hired by Hughes Aircraft Company. Working closely with the company's top designers, Stimson observed first-hand the fascinating evolution of airborne radar and with the help from Hughes engineers updated the first edition with 11 new chapters.
