I wonder...

Did the control room IMPLY the existance
of RADAR?

David....

There was a movie I saw years ago... (before I had cable?) and
it showed German fighters WITH
TELEVISION ON THE DASHBOARDS!!!

The pilot would twist a knob and
a fuzzy video of the Allied planes
would come into focus so they could
be pursued and shot down.

I suppose those evil German scientists
had invented RADAR but the movie
budget didn't allow animation.

(Supposeidly RADAR was predicted
by Science Fiction, but I dodn't
know how it was imangined. One pulp cover showed it as XRays!)

Of course, I don't know the name of the movie, and have no way
to look it up at IMDB or Google.
Could it have been a serial?
