FRONT-LINE RADAR
After D-Day, mobile radar stations advanced with the Allies through
northwestern Europe to extend friendly air cover and to detect enemy
aircraft. Flight Lieutenant Art Craig of Edmonton commanded one such unit,
which was attacked while trapped in winter mud during the Battle of the
Bulge. Hitching his immobilized radar station to an abandoned U.S. Army
bulldozer, he succeeded in saving the radar from capture by German ground
troops.
