Boot was a physicist who made an outstanding contribution to the successfull application of British science during the Second World War. Working with J. T. Randall in M. L. E. Oliphant's laboratory at Birmingham University, Boot produced the first 10 centimetre radar through the cavity magnetron, a discovery which had profound impact on the waging of war in several important spheres. In the Battle of the Atlantic centimetric radar provided the allies with a means of locating with accuracy, surfa...
