It`s been a long time now but I believe investigation showed the army`s
new radar (earthborne) got good echos from the approaching Japanese
arircraft on December 7, 1941, but the top brass rejected the reports in
disbelief of either the new equipment or the audacity of the Japanese
Navy. That attack changed naval warfare forever. Lot more respect for
both aircraft and radar ever since.
