WW2 Radar screen photo of Tokyo with map

Recommended Posts

I bought some miscellaneous military paper at the flea market a while back which included this photo of a WW2 Radar screen. I have added a map at about the same scale for comparison. This photo was unlabeled as to unit, but other material in the purchase was from various units including the 58th. Bombardment Wing, so this may also be from them.

The Radar did a fairly good job of mapping the coast lines from the aircraft, but detail was not great

I have a couple of these photos from raids on other cities. I'll dig them out and share if you'd like to see them. The radar operators and other folks who had to interpret these photos must have had some extensive training. I can't make heads or tails of what I'm looking at.
