Description: Introduction to
Airborne Radar is the revision of the classic book privately published by
Hughes Aircraft Company in 1983. Lavishly produced in full color, the book was
quite unlike any commercially published radar book produced by the major
technical publishers. The combination of clear, understandable writing and the
unparalleled illustrations established the text-reference as a 'must-have' for
engineers, technicians, pilots, and even sales and marketing people within the
radar and aerospace industry.
The book was
authored by veteran Hughes engineer and Technical Manager George W. Stimson, a
publications specialist. Individual chapters were thoroughly reviewed by the
appropriate experts within the Hughes Radar Systems Group. The book was
initially available 1983-1987 only to those within the Hughes family: employees
and customers, primarily the military. Restriction was lifted in 1987. Hughes
went through three printings and 40,000 copies 1983-1993, mostly by
word-of-mouth testimonials and demand. Upon retirement from Hughes, George
Stimson successfully negotiated for the rights to the book and made an
agreement with SciTech Publishing to do a major revision of the text to update
it.
