Abstract :
The development of radar by the US Army Signal Corps is traced as a prelude to presenting an account of the first use of radar in a US military action. This was the use of a newly developed Signal Corps radar set to detect the wave of Japanese aircraft as they approached the island of Oahu on the morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941.<>
