Chain Home radar towers - Battle of Britain.

Here is a small sampling of WW2 radar towers that played a role in the Battle of Britain. Three of them (Bawdsey, Rye and Swingate) appear in the 1945 photos. Ventnor shows no trace of its war-time towers. (Censored?) Almost all of these artifacts have disappeared.

This radar system, plus Dowding's air defense plan and Goering's incompetence resulted in a Luftwaffe defeat.
