R. V. Jones and the problem of memoir credit

Did R. V. Jones have as much impact as he claimed in The Most Secret War?

He deserves credit, but the influence of his memoir and the lack of accessible documents make his precise share difficult to establish.

R. V. Jones deserves credit for his scientific work, but publishing a postwar account gave him a strong influence over how that work was remembered. Few of the other scientists involved in radio and radar developments had comparable published accounts. A parallel is drawn with Chatfield's autobiography, whose claims are contrasted with papers crediting Henderson for some decisions. In Jones's case, the lack of accessible contemporary documents prevents the same comparison. His memoir leaves his precise share of the work difficult to establish.
