...equipped with enough larger bombs to wipe out Soviet cities many times over. One possible disadvantage: by not being able to test in the atmosphere, the U.S. may fail to find out enough about the effects which the Red superbombs might have on U.S. defenses, such as blurring radar and knocking out delicate electronic ground-control mechanisms...
...border. Obacz crammed his wife and two sons, Lester, 9, and Christopher, 5, into the rear seat of a prop-driven, two-seater training plane. Only after they were aloft did he tell them-over the plane's intercom-that he was making a break. To avoid Communist radar detection, he hedgehopped over the ground, never flew higher than 150 ft. throughout the entire 150-mile trip. When one Polish ground station called for his location, Obacz did not reply...
Bombardment by Radar. Along the curving path of the shadow, which slips between Montreal and Quebec, cuts Maine in two, and grazes the southern tip of Nova Scotia, scientists will deploy their strange instruments. They will photograph the moon-covered sun in every available way, shoot rockets into the shadow. A German group will check Einstein's theory of relativity by photographing stars that appear to be close to the sun to see how much their light is bent by the sun's gravitation. Distant radio telescopes will bombard the moon with radar waves so that observers...
...Danish and Norwegian military men, probably knew a lot about the NATO defenses and weapons. He also knew Swedish defense sites and strengths, had access to key mobilization and communication plans. In Washington, he had access among other things, to detailed information on the U.S. Army's Hawk, radar-guided antiaircraft missile designed to knock down low-flying supersonic planes. The Russians are working hard to perfect a defense against low-level nuclear attack, and the Hawk could help them...
...bomber force proved no match for the R.A.F. reinforced by U.S. planes. In 1942, 1,000 bombers devastated a great part of Cologne in 90 minutes (though the cathedral escaped serious damage). In 1943, 400 bombers were able to do comparable damage to other cities in 15 minutes, since radar allowed them to approach a target at the same time from different heights and directions...
