ATC History

Hi all,
From a geeky point of view and as a personal interest could someone help with a little information.

I'm looking for a text or just a brief description of timeline for the evoloution of ATC in the UK (Worldwide).

Obviously given how important it is now and the rigid standards employed it's evolved quickly in the last 50 or so years.

What I'm really interested in is how Radar started to be used, given that back in the 50's it was stuill blobs on a screen Vs todays ID's. Also the evoulution of procedures.

If anyone can spart 10 mins to type a post or popint me in the right direction (then possible answer a few dumb questions after) I'd be grateful.

Thanks for your time.
