Canadian History of RADAR

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.
