Glide Path — Arthur C. Clarke

A gripping novel of human ingenuity during World War II, based on the visionary author's own wartime experiences as a radar control operator.
 
One of the most influential science fiction writers of the twentieth century, Arthur C. Clarke has consistently anticipated the actual achievements of science and technology. In Glide Path, he turns back the clock to tell a thrilling story about the groundbreaking exploration of radar during WWII. Clarke's only nonâ€"science fiction novel shines with the same qualities that made his award-winning space adventures timeless classics: topnotch suspense, fascinating science, and memorable characters.
 
A hidden gem in Clarke's impressive body of work, Glide Path is an enthralling read for both science fiction fans and history aficionados.
