His discovery was that it was not that electro-magnetic waves could interfere with aircraft, but that aircraft could interfere with radio transmissions. The strategic importance of this was appreciated and a secret establishment was set up to develop a means of using radio transmissions to detect the approach of enemy aircraft--the birth of radar. As World War II broke out Ian Goult joined this elite group of scientists as a lab assistant, working on GEE, a navigational aid allowing accurate location of targets.
