Gaining an RAF Pilot's Brevet in WWII
As one who lived in a small village on the Hampshire/Surrey border and was, indeed, making Christmas chains from window in 1943 or '44 I recall occasionally finding un-cut rolls maybe a couple of inches in diameter. Would there have been any on-board system for cutting the foil to the optimum quarter-wave lengths according to the radar frequency to be jammed?
I also remember sometimes finding foil strips that were matte black and thus useless for Christmas decorations. Any ideas where these might have originated?
