Radar tied air reconnaissance to the pursuit of Bismarck

A viewer credits airborne radar with helping Coastal Command and destroyers track Bismarck, then connects radar to Swordfish operations.

Notes

A viewer credits Coastal Command's airborne surface-search radar with helping run down Bismarck. The same account has Coastal Command directing Tribal-class destroyers that kept contact through the night. Radar-equipped Swordfish are also mentioned, with agreement that their appearance was a recurring feature of the Second World War. The account connects radar with aircraft finding targets and guiding surface forces.
