Lord Hugh Dowding, air chief marshall of the Royal Air Force, lived in the grip of unseen spirits--talking to the ghosts of his dead pilots, and believing in the existence of fairies. Yet it was he who brought the modern multi-gunned fighter into existence and insisted that his scientists investigate the mysterious invisible rays that would prove to be the salvation of Britain: radar.
