Radar directed searchlights
I've always understood that German radar-directed searchlights were a myth, and that no such technology was used during WWII.
However, Harry Yates, DFC, the author of 'Luck and a Lancaster' refers several times to "being coned by radar-controlled searchlights", said to have a blueish beam rather than the more usual pure white light. If anyone knows whether this equipment was used by Luftwaffe anti-aircraft regiments, I should be pleased to hear from them. Alan Lyne
