A trunk full of Britain’s WWII secrets saved the worldBy Maureen Callahan September 27, 2015

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be,” he said. “We shall never surrender.”

Yet in the shadows, Churchill was preparing for Britain to fall. In three months, he would authorize an unprecedented, top-secret ­operation that signaled his desperation: the handover of all of Britain’s scientific and technological innovations to the United States.

James Phinney Baxter III, director of the US Office of Strategic Services from 1942 to 1943, would call the secrets, contained in a simple black metal box, “the most valuable cargo ever brought to our shores.”

But it was also the resolve of the project’s mastermind that changed the course of the war. It was known as the Tizard Mission — and though this month marks its 75th anniversary, it has somehow remained one of World War II’s least-known triumphs.

Five years before Great Britain went to war, the Royal Air Force staged a mock aerial assault on London. The results were devastating, their means of national defense primitive.

Churchill was not yet prime minister but supported the new Committee for Scientific Study of Air Defense (CSSAD). Henry Tizard, a former military pilot and chair of the Aeronautical Research Committee, was tapped to lead it.

Tizard agreed to join on one condition: That he and his top two advisers not be paid, so as to put them “in a stronger position.”All agreed.

Initially, the British government was in search of a “death ray.” They didn’t know what this would be other than some kind of paralyzing surface-to-air force that targeted bombers in the sky. The British still had no means of detecting unseen aircraft, nor shooting them down from the ground — they didn’t know how to predict a flight pattern or adjust a shot to hit a moving target.

One of Tizard’s first hires was Robert Watson-Watt, a scientist working in the field of radio waves. Watson-Watt dismissed the death ray, but he thought radio waves might be used to detect ­incoming bombers.

Tizard also hired a 24-year-old boy genius named Dr. Edward “Taffy” Bowen to collaborate with Watson-Watt. Bowen quickly ­regarded Tizard as a visionary. As he later said, “It was Tizard alone who saw the German air force, successfully shot down in daylight, switching to night raids.

“His prediction . . . must rank as one of the best examples of technological forecasting made in the 20th century,” Bowen said.

Here was the challenge: How could a British pilot detect and destroy a German bomber he couldn’t see or hear? Bowen had to build a lightweight device that could fit in a small plane, run on a very low supply of electricity, withstand turbulence and hits, and be simple enough for a pilot under attack to use.

Tizard and his team had made great strides. As Steven Phelps wrote in his 2010 book, “The Tizard Mission: The Top-Secret Operation That Changed the Course of World War II,” they had developed prototypes of AI (airborne interception) and ASV (air-to-surface vessel) radar. As early as 1936, Tizard was aware of a former RAF Officer named Frank Whittle, who had invented the turbojet engine.

The government thought it was impossible; Tizard did not.

As Britain prepared for war, its citizens putting their dogs down and sending their children away, Tizard pressed on. This time ­period, from September 1939 to April 1940, passed with no great ­attacks and came to be known as “The Phony War,” or, as the Brits called it, “The Bore War.”

But that time gave Tizard an enormous advantage: He sent an attaché to obtain a copy of a top-secret document called the Frisch-Peierls memorandum, which had been drafted just one month ­before Germany attacked.

It was written by two British scientists who had determined that it was possible to build a deployable atomic bomb, one light and small enough to be flown thousands of miles overseas and dropped from above. It was a calculation even Albert Einstein doubted.

A desperate plan

As early as 1937, Tizard was looking to work with the Americans, but the idea went nowhere.

By early 1940, Britain was bracing for assault, and Tizard’s colleague Archibald Hill, a Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist, encouraged him to simply give America his ­secrets.

“We are fooling ourselves if we put any trust in secrecy,” he wrote Tizard. “We can get very considerable help from the United States if we are prepared to discard what is now really a fetish.”

Tizard agreed.

Their key invention, one so revolutionary that the item itself had to be packed, was Bowen’s Cavity Magnetron No. 12 — a vast improvement upon existing magnetrons and one so small it could be installed in fighter planes. Here was airborne radar.
