RADAR - Target Invisible (1945)

secret weapon radar what would you have given to have seen these pictures in time you the world's enemies you who destroyed the peace had you known these secrets before we did you might have won the war but you failed and now we can tell you why you fail we can tell you some of the things you wanted to know we can tell you the secret of why you're destroying uzuki failed to return to cool ago on the night of july six 1943 one of our ships for you yes six miles away in the dark we saw you how my radar electrical pulses transmitted with a speed of light picking up echoes from the new Zuki in the Fire Control director men at work watching small screens fat pill that's your ship range for the gun accurate within 10 yards another operator gets the bearing he matches those pips by turning the entire director the guns automatically follow information goes to plot more trained men more machines and make horse 091 speed 12 knots wind 265 velocity hate nuts in fire control within a minute they know all they need to know about your ship commence firing commence firing the first undirected that's why you never heard from the Mizuki again radar how did we get such a weapon at home we had thousands of scientists at work our best electronics engineer with unlimited resources and only one objective to develop radar superior to yours in radar school thousands of men were trained to become expert operators it cost us hundreds of millions what did it cost you who once dominated the Pacific and you who submarines almost won the Battle of the Atlantic what happened why was the night no longer safe for your submarine how could our bombers find them in the dark the secret radar this sculpt is a map of the surrounding ocean with our plane in the center see that dot that's your sub the technique is simple the radar Minh sites the target then guide the pilot in for the kill starboard that a starboard one mile starboard starboard at half a mile away another secret weapon the airborne it cost us millions to know that secret what did it cost you Nazis not to know it and we had other expensive secret and you have heard of our greatest secret from such plants as these at a cost of two billion dollars the atomic bomb now we are telling you some of our secrets why because today's weapon would not be good enough tomorrow because already we're working on new uses for atomic power on new on secret remember you who dream of world conquest never again will we be caught unprepared remember how we United for war we all had a part we all complete take it easy colors take it easy while you can combat Information Center is alert its radar probing the darkness ready to give early warning of any unseen enemy Khan combat rate able bearing 344 range 358 below you got that jet coming right up sir course 139 speed 30 course 139 speed 30 now that s kind give me a course to arrive 6,000 yards 40 degrees on the starboard bow leading ship of Ray table over the combat will go out to get that Kent Kiehl 6,000 yards 40 degrees on starboard bow speed 30 course 0055 12 minutes on this is combat forth to attack point zero zero five attack 1 in 12 minutes older Roger prepare to fire 5 torpedo step setting sixteenth activist armor over his combat Roger out and I for surface action in the gun director the fire control radar goes to work enemy force the 35 thousand yards bearing 344 course 139 speed 30 fantastic but radar tells us all this with radar our ships can see through smoke through fog through darkness radar puts a finger on the unseen enemy that's our guns reach out to destroy him before he even knows we're there radial bearing 349 the range 108 double 0 2 minutes to attack for con combat two minutes to attract point mount one train out to starboard match pointers we can launch torpedoes any time now but the closer you get the better so you can wait too long what do you make of it market out there who now 51 smaller ring for the nearest mark control combat target able looks like two cruisers and a destroyer range closing all gun mode 55 and get about here bradyville bearing 350 range 90mm range 980 Tom combat through an effective range for intermediate speed torpedoes rage they'd eat double o non-combat one minute to attack point con Roger out John combat we're close enough now for high-speed torpedo ray 80 double-o range 75 double 0 range lick my

in range we're over down to double O ready fire salvo olgun salvo fire interval four seconds Frech one enemy Cruiser we have met the enemy and they are our our radar found them through the darkness told us their course their speed their disposition radar guided our torpedo aimed our guns radar cost us hundreds of millions and it was worth it our technical equipment is the best in the world war bonds people but it will cost us millions more to maintain that superiority millions for further research millions for further development the future security of our nation depends upon such developments and they are all expensive those million must come from victory bar by bar and cloven it's early morning at a b-29 base in the Marianas the big bombers are getting ready for a mission and the men are getting ready the essentials the briefing differs little from others there's a target it'll be bombed they will proceed to this point in space above the earth drop their bombs and return without ever seeing the target these are the instructions the men are ready for the takeoff six hours a lot the huge are made of super 42 spanned over a thousand miles of tracklist waters the weather bears out the forecast clouds heavy overcast all the way to the target at 23,000 feet they're above it below and on lies the Japanese mainland and somewhere beyond that the target if the enemy took comfort in the thought that the Bombardier sees nothing more than this they were living in a fool's paradise for the calculated instant tons of high explosives and yes even the atomic bomb would be sent away to the target aimed by the miracle of radar before you now is the radar scope a small circular screen giving x-ray like vision to the mysterious eleventh member of the crew the radar operated until recently we've known little of what he does and even less about the instruments he uses basically radar equipment consists of a radio transmitter and receiver the transmitter sends a radio beam earthward if it strikes water the beam is not reflected the receiver picks up nothing and the scope appears dark as it is now over the Pacific Ocean but if the beam strikes a solid object such as land it's reflected and shows like on the scope watching something's coming in now at the upper left adjusting the receiver controls sharpens the picture there they are two islands both with mountains on that should make them easy to identify according to the charts only two islands of this shape and contour lie off the southern coast of honshu the little one Kojima the other hot cheeto jima two tiny dots on the face of the globe point the way for a cargo of destruction seven hours 10 minutes elapsed time almost a full day's work for most but to the crews a mission less than half sweat it ought to fit you on the scope warns of entry to the critical zone the return shows a large luminous japanese coast over a hundred miles men you see that bright spot at the top of the peninsula not exactly the picture in travel folders but that's beautiful fujiyama Mount Fuji nature's wonder the tourists delight now a beacon and writing disaster a reference point for final calculations ha Madeira this is radar operator over this is ramadhir go ahead the wind is from 268 degrees at 138 miles per hour speed on the road data taken from the electronic wonder instruments is converted to precision aiming pinpoint bombing 17 degrees right radar operator this is Brahma deer over go ahead Barbra dear the site set up we're ready to bomb the bomb run begins will return directly over fujiyama when the bright spot that is fuji touches the black line the instructions are now let's start one quarter needle with turn only not on the heading of her i did mama dear open bomb bay doors after turn rajat the moment for decision is arrived the moment when the target must be single off from hundreds of other invisible targets coastline with a large city a peninsula jutting out in a bay the city Tokyo this is the general target area northwest of tokyo lies the specific target to you she aircraft factory at kawai go a flick of the switch isolates the target image one tiny speck of light the focal point for hundreds of giant bombers 4,000 tons of bombs how to correct 9 degrees right ready on 70 degrees ready but mark and the split-second before the bombs are released the radar operator sees this you and this is what the Japs ease his cities his factories in ruins a lot of you aren't there are probably asking well why show us this the war's over well we wanted to let you in on one of the big secrets of the war thought you might be interested yes you're right the war is over and we want it and by we I may lead foot soldiers the men at sea the crews will food emissions you men and women who work in the factories the scientists who gave us radar in the atomic bomb and every last man woman and child who bought war bonds that was all part of winning the war but now there's a matter of the peace most of the men in uniform will be returned to civilian life likewise factory workers will go back to producing civilian goods but our scientists must go on perfecting old inventions and developing new ones for the security of our nation at peace and you who bought Barnes in support of the war effort can buy a share in the peace by investing in bonds today how about it you you
